Recidivism

I want what you want
And what I want
To mesh in a way I don't think they do
I still sleep alone most nights
Divided

Twisted in a coil
Full of wishful thinking and clouded reason
It swelled, it overwhelmed
The joy I felt
And while it slipped away,
It bore no weight
I was grateful it had come at all

(I sure know what it's like to sleep alone)
(I sure know what it's like to sleep alone)

There's this melody I'm humming on the drive
"Comfort me"
On a quiet infinite night

There's this melody I'm humming on the drive
"Comfort me"
On a quiet infinite night

There's this fantasy
Reflecting a beam inside my eyes
That there isn't grief
In fatalism's plight

There's this melody
And it's only served to lie
That there's some relief
From recidivism's prying eyes

I want what you want
And what I want
To mesh in a way I don't think they do
I still sleep alone most nights
Divided
(I'm finding it bizarre // dripping off the eaves)
I want what you want
And what I want
(springtime a steady stream of rain)
To mesh in a way I don't think they do
(singing a refrain)
I still sleep alone most nights
Divided
(hold me close as the wind blows silent)
