One night you told me
that you wanted to hear
all the ways that I loved you
to keep away all your fears
but you know that my fingers have always been
stronger than my voice
and it's hard for me to get out of my head the words that I've written down
so then we went to sleep
but with a brush in our bed
and we painted our dreams on each other to say all that couldn't be said
but there in the darkness
all the paint began to bleed
turned to lemon and water
in a shade only I could see
the next morning we woke up
just a little bit colder
towards each other, the years, growing older and apart
we forgot what we were
so to keep us from breaking
I devised a plan
because you know that I talk in my sleep you decided to give me the chance
so you stayed up all night in that chair by the window and wrote down the things that I said
but oh, through the night you lost the fight and I found you asleep in that chair
but who knows what I said that night because when I found you
you had a smile on your face
