I've noticed your design 
Cause I'm not blind 
I'm like a cigarette 
Burning burning every night 
But there's no ash that falls 
There's only telephone calls in the afternoon Stretching through a thousand walls 

So I'll pray 
For words to say 
To make these miles disappear 

If you can't sleep alone (If you can't sleep alone) 
I'm better off 
I'm better off 
If you can't sleep alone 

If you're measuring with time 
In seconds or in lifetimes 
There's no difference 
It's constantly just passing by 
But there's nothing at all 
No valium or slow songs 
To relax my view 
Just you, maybe your new perfume 

So I'll pray
For words to say 
To make these miles disappear 

If you can't sleep alone (if you can't sleep alone) 
I'm better off 
I'm better off 
If you can't hear the song (if you can't hear the song) 
Then turn it off 
Then turn if off 
If you cast that first stone 
Then throw them all 
Then throw them all 

I start to sleep but it's not over 
The second hand is moving slower now 
I'd take it all back 
To start over again 
Just between the rock and paper 
The scissors cut in so much deeper
 I'd take it all back 
To start over again
