We Awake - Doldrums

In my head, we can play

We can waste the world away

We are fading from the day we awake

I heard a song the other morning

Said there would be no tomorrow

But while we hold each other here, I don’t care

Is the touch of her cheek on the curl of her hair

Or her smile like a window

Looked out a long time ago

Our city in sheets and a sun

That has faded from amber to sand

Now I’m ready to start again

The nights we awake and the times we pretend

And the city’s our temple released from a long time ago

In my bed, we can play

We can foil and we can fake

In our perfect place

I’ve found

I’ve found
