For once

there is nothing

up my sleeve

Just some scars

from a life that

used to trouble me

I used to run

at first sight of the sun

now I lay here

waiting for you

to wake up

The city outside

still sounds like

it's on fire

You put on your sheets

the white flag

of a Saturday night

I know we stayed up

Talking in circles

but I like to think

the symmetry will keep

me close to you

'Cause for everyone

I'm out to prove wrong

you keep the light o..n

the only one you know

me better than the truth

Oh despite what I've done

I pray to God that

we can move on

'cause thus far

You are the best thing

that this life

is yet to lose

and

For once

there is nothing

up my sleeve

Just some scars

from a life that

used to trouble me

I used to run

at first sight of the sun

now I lay here

waiting for you

to wake up

I lay here

waiting for you

to wake up

So if you're gonna leave

if you're gonna go

I can't bare to sleep

without you in my arms

I know we got caught up

slipping through a crowd

of rebels and losers

But you must not

let them take you

they don't know you

like I d...o

For once

there is nothing

up my sleeve

Just some scars

from a life that

used to trouble me

I used to run

At first sight

of the sun

now I lay

here waiting for you

to wake up

I lay

here waiting

for you to wake up

Do you remember

when we stayed up

till the sun stretched

through the room?

I used to blame it on

the Queens walkin'

down 7th Avenue

it's been years now

since we moved

I've gotten through

with that excuse

you know I try not

to speak superlatives

but it's impossible to you

The city outside

is nothing but

a flicker now

You see

our friends to bed

you turn out the lights

I start to think

you'll make

a beautiful mother I...

I like to think

I have everything

I want from this life
