lyrics

Yesterday I watched you sleeping
Touched your cheek there where you lay
Ran my fingers down your spine
And pretended you were mine
Like when we were 23
Felt like you were part of me
You’d wake me up with a kiss
But now all I have is this

You won’t let me near you when the day comes
You won’t let me touch you in the light
I can only get close when you’re sleeping
I can only hold you through the night

Something changed last year in May
After you’d been away
You said everything was fine
But I knew you were no longer mine
Now I say I love you while
You can only force a smile
Moving to avoid my touch
Never caring very much
About what I have to say

You won’t let me near you when the day comes
You won’t let me touch you in the light
I can only get close when you’re sleeping
I can only hold you through the night

Through the night I kiss your shoulder
And you smile for someone else
But for a while I can pretend that it’s for me

I know the day’s coming soon
You’ll leave me some grey afternoon
But that’s a conversation that can wait
It’s not something I’ll initiate
Before that day I’ll leave you be
Until you come back to me
Each time you turn out the light
And I hold you through the night

You won’t let me near you when the day comes
You won’t let me touch you in the light
I can only get close when you’re sleeping
I can only hold you through the night, through the night
