I can't stand another night
Without the sound of you
Breathing softly
The sound was like the song that I knew back in preschool
It didn't have a chord or a key
The melody was sweet and I thought it was peaceful
Like listening to the sound of the sea (so if you're ready to go)
I'll be up at dawn and I'll leave by the morning
You won't recall a thing that I said (I think I'm ready to go)
I don't think that I will be here in the morning
My palms are on the back of my head
I can't find the words
To tell you how it ends
I should've been the early bird
But maybe we're better off friends
Something in the way that she looks when she sees me
Tells me that she wants me to stay (so if you love me, don't go)
Something in the weight of the way that you whisper
I wanna hear you calling my name ('cause you will reap what you sow)
I can't find the words
To tell you how it ends
I should've been the early bird
But maybe we're better off friends
You put on the mask
And I will follow suit
Every night I wish
That I could tell you
I can't stand it
When you look at me
Just like you do
I can't stand another night
Without the sound of you
Breathing softly
'Cause when I turn out all the lights
The silence is screaming
But if you want, babe
I'll be up at dawn and I'll leave by the morning
You won't recall a thing that I said
We'll celebrate with coffee and cold conversation
Pretending that we're nothing but friends
I can't find the words
To tell you how it ends
I should've been the early bird
So tell me, are we better off?
Tell me, are we better off?
Tell me 'cause I gotta know
Tell me, are we better off friends?
