Sleeping Season

Hey
Where’d you get those shadows on your face?
And promise you’ll put flowers on my grave
You know I’m counting down the days

Wait
Our bitter hearts are made out of sand
Let me give you all the love that I have
Before it slips right through my hands
My angel boy, I’d never ask for more
You’ve got the whole wide world crying at your door

Baby
Don’t bite the hand that holds you again
And you don’t have to run from your friends
Everyone’s just trying to contend

So many days
You’ve spent giving all your bullets my name
If you can’t shake the thrill of this game
I’ll let you shoot me all the same
It’s alright
You can crucify whatever you’d like
But love is not a war that I’ll fight
I’m standing by your side tonight
If I give it all, how could you ask for more?
Now this world’s not right, they’re breaking down your door

Why
Do you let them eat away at your mind?
Now you’re waking like a dog in the night
But you look like an angel in the light

When
Did love become the thrill of the chase?
I’m terrified to even touch your face
How much of me can you replace?
