[Verse 1]

You keep a little piece of the past beneath your skin

Spider legs crawling through your cold bloodstream

Baby's got a slow pulse, he's hearing static sounds again

He changes like the autumn trees, shiver shaking limbs

[Chorus]

You take their words for gospel and leave me in the rain

Nathan, don't make me lose my breath again

You built yourself a bed from ashes and string

Nathan, don't fill up your lungs with fire again

[Verse 2]

There's summer in your hazy eyes though the winter steals the air

It feels like I've loved you my whole life 'cause I see you everywhere

In dreams where I cannot move, I can only stand and stare

Your milky skin, my piano hands putting flowers in your hair

[Chorus]

I'll drown these nightmares in apathy 'til I believe that I'm okay

Nathan, do you feel powerful when you're pushing me away?

I'll sleep with open windows in case you come back for me someday

Nathan keeps me on the run, begging him to stay

Nathan holds me to his chest, begging me to stay
