lyrics
We shiver under dim lights, trying to warm our hands up
on the steam coming off a polystyrene cup.
We've traded everything for short-term salvation
and on nights light these I wonder if I'm worth saving.
Because the nosebleeds and concussion are collateral it seems,
and failure feels impending for desperate souls like you and me.
So come on let's dream, even though we never sleep.
Come on, let's dream tonight.
We whisper incoherently and regret every word
though we're secretly relieved to have our secrets heard.
We stumble past the chicken shops with birdsong in our ears,
sometimes it seems simpler to relent to our fears.
Because the chaos and anxiety are comforting at times
when we live in the night and don't know where to draw the line.
So come on let's dream, even though we never sleep.
Come on, let's dream tonight.
