lyrics

I'm not in love, so I'll take another sip.
I don't want to leave, I'll push a little closer to you.
The leaves are warm. The dirt is cold.
An empty house and many stones.
Listen, sleeper, in your soft rumble -

Glass on glass and I walk down the hallway,
Hold my breath while I wash you off me.
While you dream beside me, I'm gonna talk out loud.

I put myself in this position.
I put myself in your position.
I let you do this to me.
I let me do this to me.

I'm not in love, so I'll take another sip.
I don't want to leave, I'll let you talk this into me.
Your sheets are stained. You never stay.
Behind your house, a path is laid.
Listen, sleeper, in your soft rumble -

Glass on glass and I walk down the hallway,
Turn off all the lights and try to breathe.
While you dream beside me, I'm gonna talk out loud.

I'm not in love, so I'll take another sip.
I don't want to leave but there is something running through me.
I'm not the same, the seasons changed.
Behind this skin, I'm roughly made.
Listen, sleeper, in your soft rumble -

Glass on glass and I walk down the hallway.
Glass on glass and I mis-step, mis-speak.
Glass on glass and I walk down the hallway.
Glass on glass and I come back to me.
