lyrics

I woke to what was safer late at night
With the lights dim
Illuminated, it’s staring me down
Now I’m not any braver than I’ve ever been,
And you’ve never been
One to let me feel like I could never let you down

Was I just too quiet all those moments I could feel it
Weighing on our frail and aging dreams?
Thought I was supposed to fight it, maybe wait it out, Shake my doubts
But that’s not how either of us wanted it to be

CHORUS:
Wake up, Dear
It’s colder inside than
Your faith or my fear
can shoulder this time

It got cast aside like all the letters
I keep telling you I’ll write
When things slow down, but what does that mean
That I’ll start living life when I can make it fit,
Maybe I'll start caring for you sometime in between?

CHORUS

Go ahead, I’m listening
Got an ear for disappointment
I can hear it on my breath
It’s the same, same story
I can hear it in your sweet sigh

CHORUS
