As If I Hadn't Slept

It's always 3 a.m. In your world So I'm drinking this As if I hadn't slept Telling stories which tell their stories Themselves You didn't even hear them I thought to somewhere else As long as I go somewhere You'll still be trying to see As long as I go somewhere You'll still be trying As long as I go somewhere You'll still by lying to me As long as I go somewhere If you're so sure that you don't need love Only it's as if I hadn't slept As laughter smiles back in your direction But you're protected by the smoke from Your cigarette Then you tried to hold my hand Under the table But it's far too vague to be meaningful As long as I go somewhere You'll still be trying to see As long as I go somewhere Every night has a hold over me As long as I go somewhere You'll still be lying to me As long as I go somewhere And you held me like I was a shadow But completely without any mystery And you compared me to a shadow Which in itself is Some kind of victory --- As If I Hadn't Slept - Idlewild
