Pink Light - Marika Hackman

So I let it happen again

I loved someone who’s indifferent

That’s why I can’t sleep at night

That’s why I keep sleeping in

So I started over again

I got back onto that medicine

That’s why I keep sleeping in

I don’t like when dreaming ends

There’s a pink light in my apartment

It comes mid-morning as a reminder

That at the right time, in the right surroundings

I will be lovely, but I can’t help thinking

That maybe if you stayed

For an hour or two

When the sun came up

When I last saw you

Maybe if you’d seen

The soft pink light

I wouldn’t be

Alone tonight

So I’m living inside my mind

I keep retracing that storyline

Thinking, if I start again

I can change the way it ends

There’s a pink light in my apartment

It comes mid-morning as a reminder

That at the right time, in the right surroundings

I will be lovely, but I can’t help thinking

But I can’t help thinking

But I can’t help thinking

But I can’t help thinking

But I can’t help thinking

Maybe if you stayed (But I can’t help thinking)

For an hour or two (But I can’t help thinking)

When the sun came up (But I can’t help thinking)

When I last saw you (But I can’t help thinking)

But there’s a pink light in my apartment (Maybe if you’d seen)

It comes mid-morning as a reminder (The soft pink light)

That at the right time, in the right surroundings (I wouldn’t be)

I will be lovely, but I can’t help thinking (Alone)

Alone tonight
