[Verse 1]
Iâm weighing down the covers of my bed.
I feel so heavy from the silence of what wasn t said.
Though it s dark in here I see fluorescent lights above your head,
making me green cause they re looking over you instead.
[Verse 2]
Oh how I wish I was a helpful one.
But I can t be the one who s hovering round always asking you what s wrong.
This distance grew up carelessly but how easily it keeps me
from needing to be there when you need me there.
I hope when you need me there I ll show up again
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
And keep you warm and make the bed
and hold a washcloth to your perspirating forehead.
But you think a lover, not a friend, will drive those secret demons in
though the silence is the place that they begin.
[Verse 4]
Oh yes the silence is the place that they begin.
I spent a lot of time just figuring that out, friend.
So if there s something wrong inside me I hope some other soul will find me
here in this aging set of skin,
cause these are the bodies we re stuck in.
And if I had it all to do again
I d have driven over before they checked you in
[Outro]
