Clothes I Slept In

(album: Stay - 2018)

I think I went crazy trying to stay sane
Trying to keep my head out of the grave
I never thought to expect
More than manic bliss
I think I lost it
Stuck at the big end of the bottle
Where all I mean to say
It all goes down with the dregs
Lost in the swirling haze

I think I went crazy trying to remain
Trying to make some sense of the mess in my brain
Fingers crossed that this
Is the worst that my head is going to get
Of everything I thought I'd need
In this desperate waking dream
Is standing right in front of me

You're just standing there like heaven
While I'm still wearing the clothes I slept in
Telling myself just keep on breathing
It's your spirit that I'm seeing
And it's burning bright and clear
Burning bright and clear

I've never felt a time
Where everything I am
Felt less defined
Just trying to find the safest place to land
When every single thing I need
A vision and a dream
Is standing right in front of me
Right in front of me

You're just standing there like heaven
While I'm still wearing the clothes I slept in
Telling myself just keep on breathing
It's your spirit that I'm seeing
And it's burning bright and clear
Burning bright and clear

Relying on your easy glow
To pull me up from the undertow
The faces that we show
So far from our own

You're just standing there like
You're just standing there like
You're just standing there like

You're just standing there like heaven
While I'm still wearing the clothes I slept in
Telling myself just keep on breathing
It's your spirit that I'm seeing
And it's burning bright and
Burning bright and
Burning bright and clear
