lyrics

When I wake up I will be better
When I wake up I'll run, I'll
Change all my beliefs again,
Tell myself who to be and then
These new mistakes won't matter, I will be better

When I wake up I'll understand you
When I wake up, were done, I'll
Kiss you in your parents' bed and
Tell you that we can't be friends,
My edges won't be sanded
I'll understand you

I kept poetic record of when we met
Now I think I'm predicting my death.
I dreamt I was frightened by the sound of our breath
So you left

When I wake up I will be different
When I wake up, unstuck as
Ashes in the changing seas,
Committed to the birds and bees
You'll find me cold and distant,
I will be different

When I wake up I'll have my answer
When I wake up I'll come up
Fighting on my only feet,
Shouting lies and spitting teeth
Then dumbly succumb to this cancer
I'll have my answer

I kept poetic record of when we met
Now I think I'm predicting my death.
I dreamt I was frightened by the sound of our breath
So you left

Shuffling the playing cards - half empty deck
Suffering is praying for some respect
Which one of us will last?
Who doesn't love who back?

Bitterness is different, it's hit or miss with listeners, so I limit the risk with that symptomatic distance.
