Sleeping With You
He turns on the lights
I close my eyes
To slip back into another life
The one in my dreams
Where you’re still here with me
Though you feel impossible to keep
Sometimes I can’t find you
Still searching my way through
Holding onto what we once knew
And when you return to me
It’s never peacefully
Never with any certainty
Because there’s always something in the way
A different distance every day
And you were never meant to stay
