lyrics
Fall is haunting and dulling our lives
The wind is crying: you don’t even try
I need to, I need to leave and get some sleep
I hear the devil calling out to me
We’re coming down and never going back again
I can taste your lips, they’re candy sweet
We’re wanting something to fill the need
The kick drum’s beating loud to a violin’s sound
Our lives are static but we don’t know how
My mind is lost in a whirlwind of memories
I thought I loved you but I don’t even love me
I asked you to pick up the phone and give me a call
I expected the world and I wanted it all
Heaven’s better through a glass window pane
And I would pray to Jesus but I don’t know the way
If life is all for nothing ’cause it’s nothing to me
Then I would rather sleep
And pass my time in dream
The wind is crying: you don’t even try
I need to, I need to leave and get some sleep
I hear the devil calling out to me
We’re coming down and never going back again
I can taste your lips, they’re candy sweet
We’re wanting something to fill the need
The kick drum’s beating loud to a violin’s sound
Our lives are static but we don’t know how
My mind is lost in a whirlwind of memories
I thought I loved you but I don’t even love me
I asked you to pick up the phone and give me a call
I expected the world and I wanted it all
Heaven’s better through a glass window pane
And I would pray to Jesus but I don’t know the way
If life is all for nothing ’cause it’s nothing to me
Then I would rather sleep
And pass my time in dream
