Stone tired
I could have kissed you and then said goodbye
I didn't try
Now I'm leaving with two lips too dry
Given the seasons that change
Rearrange and exchange all we made
Crashing like waves and the tides
And the covers that hide all your shame
How can I sleep?
With these storm clouds
You've the warmest bed around
When the thunderclaps get loud
I will run from the sound
Stone tired
Like a rock I will sleep by your side
I'll stay through the night
And will sneak out with morning's new light
Given the time and the grime
And the sand that we scrubbed from our feet
Polished to prim, prepped, pristine,
Purified, and kept clean in the heat
How can I sleep?
With these storm clouds
I've the loneliest bed around
When the thunderclaps get loud
I will run from the sound
I won't give up
But I might stall
I'll just keep picking up
What you let fall
Stone tired
I still miss you when I hear goodbye
I'd give it time
But your face is still burned in my eyes
Given the host who will toast
To the ghost of the holiest man
I could have stayed, could have swayed
Could persuade you to give me your hand
How can I sleep?
With these storm clouds
You've the warmest bed around
When the thunderclaps get loud
I will run from the sound
