Quiet Light

Lyrics

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 thinking 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 grey
 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 grey
 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 grey
 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
