Its awkward and painful
To wish for the end
?Cos the end is gonna come
But baby I love you
Like I did back then
Like the west and the setting sun
And I ain?t been sleeping
And I?m tired as hell
And I stare art the ceiling
And talk to myself
But morning is peaceful
Like its always been
The calm and the crying wind
