It's the quiet night that breaks me.
|
I cannot stand the sight of this familiar place.
|
It's the quiet night that breaks me, like a dozen papercuts that only I can trace.
|
All my books are lying useless now.
|
All my maps will only show me how to lose my way.
|
Oh call my name.
|
You know my name.
|
And in that sound, everything will change.
|
Tell me it won't always be this hard.
|
I am nothing without you, but I don't know who you are.
|
It's the crowded room that breaks me: everybody looks so luminous, and strangely young.
|
It's the crowded room that's never heard.
|
No one here can say a word of my native tongue.
|
I can't be among them anymore.
|
I fold myself away before it burns me numb.
|
Oh call my name.
|
You know my name.
|
And in your love, everything will change.
|
Tell me it won't always be this hard.
|
I am nothing without you, but I don't know who you are.
