lyrics
Meet me here with a wilted flower
For the unmarked grave of every hour
Wave goodbye with a heavy hand
Marked by days and weeks and second hands
Sing sad songs if it makes you smile
I’ll be dreaming softly all the while
But if I ever lose myself
Between real and pretend
Would you pinch me awake
Or kiss me to sleep again?
Would you say what you really mean
Or just fool me twice, never saw it coming (well…)
All those sad songs played back to me (back to me…)
Just sound foolish as hell
So I’m scratching out what I wrote
Cause I’m lost for words and all I know is…
I was wavering, wavering
Hanging on by fingernails, dangling
Was I wandering and pacing
On again, off again, contemplating
I was wavering, wavering
And victim to the wind
So would you pinch me awake?
Pinch me awake
Would you pinch me awake
Or kiss me to sleep again?
