"Bereft" lyrics

"Bereft"

Stayed until late
No questions asked, no one's wondering
Count down the hours, no sleep tonight
We spend the whole time wide awake

Wait till all the colours fade, the sun resets
We were frozen still, the curbside underneath us

You face was flushed with red
The blanket's wrapped around our legs
And for a moment, we can't sink any deeper

You take my fingers
Trace into your palm
The light it lingers on us

Trading whispers
Talk till voice runs out
Throw away your honour

Wake in a house
Someone else's sheets
The sun it seeps in subtly, covers up

You took one long breath
Hit reset while you're still wearing my same long sleeve

You had to fly out, victim of timing
I should have been somewhere else
Thinking I hung on too tight
Figuratively I meant
Figured you wrongly, I guess

There was no plan, I went out and then
Then I saw you there, I saw you there
In an instant, I was wrapped around your finger

Kept to yourself, my thoughts ran, if only I, if only I
So I leant in, we were pressed against the speaker

Wait for a while, had the image burned
Cause I was certain it would lead
To a place, without weight
That was lost in sleep and so the dream ends suddenly
