In A Win, Win Situation

I've noticed your design

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.
