The Difference In The Shades - Companion Version

Now that it's June, we'll sleep out in the garden
If it rains, we'll just sink into the mud
Where it is quiet and much cooler than the house is
There's no clocks or phones to wake us up

'Cause I have learned that nothing is as pressing
As the one's pressing would like you to believe
And I'm content to walk a little slower
'Cause there's nowhere that I really need to be

And I find that life is easier
When it's just a blur with no details to
Confuse who or what or where I was
So when the ending comes
The full regret would seem obscure

But these are days we dream about
When the sunlight paints us gold
And this apartment could not be prettier
As we danced up there alone

This TV's old, the color's fucked
You see the difference in the shades?
But the green's still close to green, my love
I believe we are the same

And we'll stay like this, all gold and green
Light collects, it projects your heart on a movie screen
If you close your eyes, we will always be
The way we were that night, you crawled inside of me

And you slept in my blood the way you sleep now
The quietest hush has consumed this house
So when the doctors have gone, and you sweat through the bed
With all the pictures and pills and pills they piled around your head

Just rest now

And in a moment you'll know everything
Was it just a dream?
It's too vague now to recount
An outline of the one you loved
In a life that was, that no longer can be

Stands above you
As you sleep
