1984
close your eyes, and i will be swimming
lullaby's fill your room, and i will be singing
singing to only you
dont forget ill hold your head
watch the night sky fading red
but as you sleep, and no one
is listening
i will lift you off your feet, ill keep you from sinking
don't you wake up yet, cause soon ill be leaving you
soon ill be leaving you, but you won't be leaving me
in the car, the radio leaves me searching for your star
a constellation of frustration driving hard
singing my thoughts back to me, and watching heartache on TV
but as you sleep, and no one is listening
i will lift you off your feet, i'll keep you from sinking
don't you wake up yet, cause soon i'll be leaving you, soon i'll be leaving you
but you won't be leaving me
don't forget i'll hold your head, watch the night sky fading red
but as you sleep, and no one is listening
i will lift you off your feet, i'll keep you from sinking
don't you wake up yet, cause soon i'll be leaving you
soon i'll be leaving you, but you won't be leaving me
"Space"
Home, is this the quiet place where you should be alone?
Is this where the tortured and the troubled find their own?
I don't know, but I can tell this isn't you, your cover's blown
Oh no, don't you dare hang up this phone
Hey, give me space so I can breathe
Give me space so I can sleep
Give me space so you can drown in this with me
In this place
The lonely escapade in outer space
There's no antidote for irony you say
that you have, when you know that you don't
and you say, that you can, when you know that you won't
Hey, give me space so I can breathe
Give me space so I can sleep
Give me space so you can drown in this with me
Hey, give me space but I can't breathe
Give me space but I can't sleep
Give me just one inch I swear that's all I'll need
These padded walls and TV screens
Sometimes they make me want to scream
Hey, give me space so I can breathe
Give me space so I can sleep
Give me space
