lyrics

If you float over
remember the dust
that fell in our eyes

And stand as sudden silence
fell on fields
where we once played

You could set a storm to rise
every wave a widowed cry
if you'd stop sleeping in.

Time is a birdsong
whistling past
our best defense

We fake just like actors
making plans
for no-good deeds

I'll wear your picture on a chain
I'm too tired to be brave
from all my sleeping in

There is a standard
by which we're measured
when we get older

I'm just beginning
to stand for something
there's no denying

I adore you ceaselessly
tens of thousands just like me
have stopped their sleeping in.
