Trapped Nerve

(album: Saudade - 2015)

Wide awake, from the pain in your neck
Keep your eyes on the road and forget what they say
I hope the voices in your head only whisper today
But I know they scream instead
I hope the fire in your belly doesn't smoke out your brain
We'll play hide and seek with the world on the other team
Sleep for the rest of my days
and I'd just wish the world away

So chew me up and spit me out
I'll hit the bed before I drown
Restless nights, alone again
That stabbing pain in your head
You'd rather be home
You'd rather be home again
You'd rather be home
With trapped nerves in your neck

Cause you're the air in my lungs
and I'm the tear on your cheek
So I'll turn off my alarm so we can sleep
Cause I wish you felt better
(Cause you are better)
You are better than me
On and on we're only getting deeper
Too deep for you to see

So chew me up and spit me out
I'll hit the bed before I drown
Restless nights, alone again
That stabbing pain in your head
You'd rather be home
You'd rather be home again
You'd rather be home
With trapped nerves in your neck

Sleep for the rest of my days
and I'd just wish the world away

So chew me up and spit me out
I'll hit the bed before I drown
Restless nights, alone again
That stabbing pain in your head
You'd rather be home
You'd rather be home again
You'd rather be home
With trapped nerves in your neck

I wish you felt better
You are better than me
