"Quiet Light"

I used to fall asleep to you talking to me

I don't listen to anything now

Nothing to do with us

I'm just so tired of thinkin' about everything

I'm not afraid of being alone

I just don't know what to do with my time

Between you and me

I thought it would all last a little while longer

But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light

While I watch the sky go from black to gray

Learning how not to die inside a little

Every time I think about you and wonder if you are awake

You don't know anything

I think about you way more than anything else

I'm not that spiritual, I still go out all the time

To department stores

Everything I need, but none of this is getting me anywhere good

Between you and me

I still fall apart at the thought of your voice

But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light

While I watch the sky go from black to gray

Learning how not to die inside a little

Every time I think about you and wonder if you are awake

And I'm learning to live without the heartache it gives me

Nothing I wouldn't do for another few minutes

Learning how not to cry

Every time there's another sad unbearable morning

But sometimes there's nothing I can do

I can't help it

It's you that I think I hear in the quiet light

Am I crazy?

You're nowhere near me

Guess I don't know what I'm saying

Just call me

I'll come to where you are

Alone in the quiet light

I'm always thinking you're behind me

And I turn around and you're always there

But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light

While I watch the sky go from black to gray

Learning how not to die inside a little

Every time I think about you and wonder if you are awake

And I'm learning to live without the heartache it gives me

Nothing I wouldn't do for another few minutes

Learning how not to cry

Every time there's another sad unbearable morning

But sometimes there's nothing I can do
