When We're Sober

From the outside here
You're so far away dear
Won't you come
Save me from my sorrow?
(Rescue me)

In the spring
We were crashing through the glass
Is it everything?
Was it never meant to last?
(Fall on me)

And in the summer
While you asked for leave
I hid in the corner
Of the darkest chamber
(Of your heart)

Don't ask me questions
That you're afraid to hear
The answer's serrated
And it'll cut you deep again
(Stay away)

The ceiling's falling, the air is unclean
The walls I built are falling down on me
I'm finally free but I feel no warmth
I'm slipping into a fever dream

And you're so far away
You're so far away
I can feel your breath on my skin
But you're so far away

As we fall through autumn
I cling to you like the leaves
But I can't drag you through this
My solitude is full of sin
(It's killing me)

And when we're sober
Oh, will I see you swoon?
Or am I too late now?
Have I lost your love?
(No turning back)

Because you're so far away
You're so far away
I can hear your hand knocking on my door
But you're so far away

I can't break through this with conscience clean
The man I know is lost within the seams
Of curtains closing with words unsaid
The thoughts are crowding up within my head

And you're so far away
You're so far away
I can see your head resting on my chest
But I can't feel a thing

Now that winter's come
You're so far away, dear
Won't you come save me from the bottle?
Won't you come rescue me?

Rescue me
