Nothing New

I woke up buried in the sand again
Holding my shoe
Thinking it was your hand again
Nothing new

And it's the bright hour of 11am
I guess it's 6am for you
They say people get used to Berlin
You start laughing too

But I miss you

I woke up leaning this old tower against
Words you hadn't written
I woke up powerless
Ugly as a kitten

And remember that couple leaving a barbecue
He said, "I overate, nothing new"
And how you drew them into a cartoon
With captions under their shoes
And one said, "I need a lover"
And the other said, "I need a mother"

And I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you see I'm trying to be anything else
But it's so good
Being sorry for yourself

And there's a whole city to dance with
And there are lovers in the square
And how in the dark you breathe like
There could never be enough air

And I miss you

And I dreamed again last night
How your brother hangs 'round your ankle
And in the dream you were drowning
Could it be that simple
