in the city of sleep it is everyone i meet 
who has a similar sense of sound 
makes me wonder how i long i can last here 
makes me wonder if this is my last year around 

calming down my hands i walked away 
saw that i was not far from the water 
from the water and the ways that i was 
so i stayed there 

and i watch and weigh 
some people i've left here 
and the water and the water and wood - i think its like last year 

you know how much i wanna feel this 
now now but its a waste for 
you know i don't average out as much as i would like 
so i'm here another day 
collecting my things to wade through 
though i did not anticipate you, i did not anticipate you 

it makes no sense to me 
i gave and i gave 
there is nothing i wont say to you 
standing outside your room 

i'm gonna hold it down and go 
its safe where i know 
in the city of sleep it is everyone i meet 

you know how much i wanna feel this 
now now but its a waste for 
you know i don't average out as much as i would like 
so i'm here another day 
collecting my things to wade through 
though i did not anticipate you, i did not anticipate you
