lyrics:
The deeper I fall the sweeter you taste 
Sleep brings me back to all we erased 
I wish those moments we’re captured in glass
I’m holding on to you walking into the past 
How can you be so close in my dream
But then I wake and your dead to me
How long do I get to live so alone
Falling all over myself going home 
It’s easier than keeping up with somebody new 
It’s easier than It was keeping up with you too 
WhenI go to sleep the clouds over my bed
the rain i need but they just thunder instead
how can you be so close in my dream
but i wake up youre still dead to me
i have to keep my best ideas to myself
foaming at the mouth to everyone else

learning to find meaning when all your life
every motivating feeling was carrying a lie
every time i exhale it adds poison to the room
I'll have to find a reason to keep breathing without you

Falling All Over Myself Going Home
