lyrics

Wake up, I was only dreaming of you, Wait up, what am I getting into
Stayed up, hoping that the dust would settle
Laid up, caught you talking with the devil

When it comes down to the wire, Damn I’m much too tired

You say you can’t sleep alone, You gotta go it on your own
Leave you with your demons as I walk away cuz you know
I won’t carry you home

Take time to wrestle what is wrong or right
I’m blind always falling for you kind
Cigarettes burn into the morning light
Forget all about the endless fight

When it comes down to the wire, I’m running towards the fire

You say you can’t sleep alone, You gotta go it on your own
Leave you with your demons as I walk away cuz you know
I won’t carry you home

What did you wish for that first July, your arms around me and your last goodbye
