Sleepwalking With You - Xerxes

When you hit the water

I hardly knew

When the sunlight changed

Through the waves, you say

There was a song it sang

I still say

I could see what you saw that day

How the lights were so different

But felt the same

Maybe I could hear you scream

I still have that dream

I’m still sleepwalking

My feet wet in the stream

It starts at your fists

Under your clutch

But it escapes and ends up

At the place between your shoulders

That I never touch

Before I left I said

Nothing can stay

You know the past has a way

Of breaking up these days

Into pieces that never fit quite the same

But I’ll hold this together

Even with the edges frayed

I could feel my fingers graze

The air your lips betray

Like a dying flame

Screaming with smoke

Until it fades

For that feeling when you’re alone

Its a cloud that surrounds

And it holds you now

Because I don’t

And when I wrote

I hoped love would save you

I meant mine

And I dragged my palms

Through the gulf of your dreams

Just hoping your song would play for me too

And when i wrote

I hoped love would save you

I meant mine

And I dragged my palms

Through the gulf of your dreams

Hoping your song would play for me

And when I wrote

I still feel alone

You were watching me write

I just didn’t know
