Lonely as the sun sinking down in the west
Bags under my eyes cause I can’t get no rest
Between lying in bed and when I slip into sleep
Your memories pass by like you’re reading them to me
You look pretty as the sun rising in the east
In the city of dreams, wake up grinding your teeth
Between opening your eyes and your first yawning breath
You’re stretching your limbs and cracking your neck
& as we lay our heads back on our pillows
Can’t sleep for the silence and the shadows
Poltergeist or an unholy ghost
The same fears from opposite coasts
With you in the east and me in the west
I'll watch you rise and you can watch me set
Well I'm as hungry as a prisoner breaking rocks all day
Your skin was softer than the bed on where we lay
In between the smell and the taste on my tongue
It's your lips on my lips and your scent in my lungs
True as the North Star to a fugitive in the night
It's your pale skin reflecting that pale moonlight
Between the evening fog and the morning mist
You’re waking up at midnight just to give me a kiss
& as we lay our heads back on our pillows
Can’t sleep for the silence and the shadows
Poltergeist or an unholy ghost
The same fears from opposite coasts
With you in the east and me in the west
I'll watch you rise and you can watch me set
Well dark was the night and cold was the ground
It’s the quiet dawn & it’s your sleeping sounds
Between the day we met and when we knew for sure
I’ve forgotten everything that came before
