When you're gone and I'm lying alone, listening to the same old song of my pulse pounding in my ears as I vary its tempo
My thoughts circle around on a self-repeating track like crazed moths around a shining lamp
Why can't I ever achieve, can't ever achieve
That moment when I stop living my life like a fool?
When you're gone
I see your face in those bogs of my mind
On puddles reflecting the moon
The sun ought to finally rise
Otherwise, I'd like to fall asleep
The night is drawing an arrow on a bow
It will break if I can't get some sleep
Why can't I ever achieve, can't ever achieve
That moment when I stop living my life like a fool?
When you're gone...
The night is quiet and permits me to listen to its wordless jokes in the poor company of my thoughts
Why is that even you are just a reflection of my fears to me? I have to share you with someone else and I cannot pay my debts
Why can't I ever achieve, can't ever achieve
That moment when I stop living my life like a fool?
When you're gone
I see your face in those bogs of my mind
On puddles reflecting the moon
The sun ought to finally rise
Otherwise, I'd like to fall asleep
The night is drawing an arrow on a bow
It break if I can't get some sleep
When you're gone
