Handing It Over

Open eyes
Waking up slowly in the pale light
Looking for any signs of life
And all we are
Handing it over to the symmetry
Handing it over to delight

There's no sound here now
I watch you sleeping and work it all
And work it all out
To cut us down to size
Handing it over to the hours
Handing it over as they slide

Pleasure hides
In plain sight, in the harshest light
Tripping on hope, smoking desire
When all I'm craving's fire
You'll be something cooler than this

There's no sound here now
I watch you sleeping and work it all and work it all out
To cut us down to size
Handing it over to the daylight
Handing it over to the night
Handing it over to the hours
Handing it over as they slide

And all the names I said in vain
The words I threw across the page
Train ride hours drip away
To hold my breath to just give way

There's a sound here now
I can hear you thinking you'll work it all
Work it all out

And it's so weightless
And physical
You just walk in here like a miracle
All those stairways we climbed
Handing it over to the hours
Handing it over as they slide
Handing it over to the daylight
Handing it over to the night
Over to the night
Over to the night
Over to the night
