lyrics

I’d like to close my eyes and not think about death
Or hold my breath when the phone rings
Who is it coming for, next?
I’d like to close my eyes and see if I just fall
Before I know it, I’m drowning from the comfort of my own bed

I know we might have said some things inside the heat of a moment
That stunned us into a silence and filled us both with regret
And you are free to criticise just so long as you do it with some genuine feeling
I appreciate your help

Now it’s your turn to shake this off
Forget what I said
Are you sleeping soundly or playing dead?
It’s your turn to shake this off
Forget everything I said
Are you sleeping soundly or playing dead?

I’d like to close my eyes and not think about how
It seemed like you were healing slowly until I said it out loud
You can start off slowly, just let it all out
You don’t have to be silent; you don’t have to be scared

But they’ve been giving me the runaround
I’ve had some demons to contend with
Hiding round corners, placing traps

How long have I been driving up and down
With a missing door on the driver’s side; pretending everything’s alright?

Now it’s your turn to shake this off
Forget what I said
Are you sleeping soundly or playing dead?
It’s your turn to shake this off
Forget everything I said
Are you sleeping soundly or playing dead?
