lyrics

Don’t have time
I don’t feel like coming over
Those days are over
you don’t seem to mind
I try to find out as I roll over
And you sleep on

Sleep, sleep, sleep

Spent the night, I tell my dream
And when I’m done the talking’s over
My voice dies out
Give me a sign, relate a tiny thougt
I swear that I won’t keep you from sliding lower
You can slide lower

Go on, go on
I don’t, don’t mind
I try to care but I fail

I don’t have time to answer if you think that you can answer for me
I am to proud to care I’m not the one who’s asking anyway
Don’t have a mind for questions
If there’s nothing that you expect me to say
I don’t have time for this
Acting serious yet all we do is play

What are you longing for
What am I giving you instead?
I know it’s hard to name,
Communicate the codings in your head
Even if you try
There’s still the risk that I won’t understand

Is that what keeps you from trying?
Is that what keeps me from trying?
Is that what keeps us from trying?
Is that what keeps us from getting close?

I don’t, you don’t
We are not close
I try to care but I fail

I don’t have time to answer if you think that you can answer for me
I am to proud to care I’m not the one who’s asking anyway
Don’t have a mind for questions
If there’s nothing that you expect me to say
I don’t have time for this
Acting serious yet all we do is play
We act serious yet all we do is play

You make me feel like
I’m just the blood in the wonder of birth
I’m just a tear in the eye of a bird
I’m as present in your mind
As a pick in the ice in the summertime
I’m the ground you can only see when it’s low tide
And this is high tideYeah this is summertime
But i won’t wait for low tide

No I won’t wait for you
