lyrics

I haven’t been sleeping much lately
Maybe it’s this time of year
I haven’t been talking much lately
Like my voice disappeared
It’s not that I don’t notice
When you talk to me
I’m just trying to focus
On the smaller things

Like what turns you red
When you feel ashamed
Or would I still know who you are
If I’d been born with a different name

I’ve been counting the seconds
Between highway lines
I’ve been searching for signals in the clouds
But it’s always blue sky
I think it’s miscommunication
In my nervous bones
My heart is wired to my head
But my heart has a mind of its own.

Maybe that’s why when I sleep
I don’t dream of any sheep
All I get is the static white noise
In my ears from your memory

I’ve been calling all the technicians
But they’re all dead
Someone come fix this faulty fuse in my heart
Between love and regret
