In a Win, Win Situation

I've noticed your design
'cause I'm not blind.
I'm like a cigarette
burning, burning every night.
but there's no ash that falls
there's only telephone calls
in the afternoon,
stretching through a thousand walls.

So I'll pray
for words to say
to make these miles disappear.
If you can't sleep alone,
I'm better off, I'm better off
If you can't sleep alone

If we're measuring with time,
in seconds or in lifetimes, there's no difference,
it's constantly just passing by.
But there's nothing at all,
not valium or slow songs to
relax my view, just you.
Maybe your new perfume

So I'll pray
for words to say
to make these miles disappear.
If you can't sleep alone
I'm better off, I'm better off
If you can't hear the song
then turn it off, then turn it off
If you cast the first stone
then throw them all,
then throw them all

I start to sleep, but it's not over.
The second hand is moving slower now
I'd take it all back to start over again
Just between the rock and paper,
the scissors cut in so much deeper.
I'd take it all back,
to start over again,
Again, again, again.
