Royal - Make Do And Mend

Nights like these feel too big for me

On this endless stretch of apartment sheets

But still the chains of the snowless streets sing to me

And it seems to be

That every night for at least the last few weeks

You hold me close and my heart admits defeat

And with a slowing pace of beats, it hums the day complete and I fall asleep

You’re the only habit I won’t break

The only set of vacancies I save

And you deserve a reverence I can’t pay

Now ever morning I can hear you chase

The monsters of your waking hours away

You turn to me and say

«Baby boy, it hurts to have to wait.»

And for the next few months that I’m away

You feel the ground below you start to shake

You say «There's nothing I can do

The bruises are more black that they are blue.»

You’re the only habit I won’t break

The only set of vacancies I save

And you deserve a reverence I can’t pay
