lyrics

"When I wake up, it's the same. The doctor doesn't know my name.
I freeze. Wish I were in bed with you. But, you sleep straight on through it all. I close my eyes. I hug the wall to see if I could get away.

But, no, I don't want someone new. I'll get lost in all your charms. I'll let you in 'til you're all mixed through, like the veins inside our arms with you.

These window treatments never stop. I want your touch, but my arms just drop to your side (that place I'd like to lay when I wake up for my bed check with scratches running up my neck). With no change, they offer up applause.

But, no, I don't want someone new. I'll get lost in all your charms. I'll let you in 'til you're all mixed through like the veins inside our arms with you."
