I think I need you the most at night
when I'm all alone
When I fear what's to come
When my wings are stuck
between attention--And at rest
--
I think I pray for you
When I hope you pray for me
But I still sleep in shacks shaking from hurricanes
All flooded and forgotten
My mouth still screams in tongues not even I understand
There's never a waking moment
Cause I never went to sleep
--
I think I'm torn apart
Knowing you can go without
How I ache for a moment of release
While you're basking in it
How every smile is a stretch
But for you it comes so easily
