For once there is nothing up my sleeve Just some scars from a life that used to trouble me I used to run at first sight of the sun Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up The city outside still sounds like it’s on fire You put on new sheets The white flag of a Saturday night I know we stayed up talking in circles But I like to think the symmetry Will keep me close to you For everyone, I’m out to pull wrong, you keep the light on The only one, you now me better than the truth So despite what I’ve done I pray to God that we can move on Cause thus far you are the best thing that this life is yet to lose And, for once there is nothing up my sleeve Just some scars from a life that used to trouble me I used to run at first sight of the sun Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up I lay here waiting for you to wake up So if you gonna leave, if you gonna go I can’t bare to sleep without you in my arms I know we got caught up slipping through a crowd of people and losers But you must not let them take you They don’t know you like I do For once there is nothing up my sleeve Just some scars from a life that used to trouble me I used to run at first sight of the sun Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up I lay here waiting for you to wake up Do you remember when we stayed up till the sun stretched through the room I used to blame it on the queens walking down 7th Avenue It’s been years now since we moved I’ve gotten through with an excuse You know I try not to speak superlatives But it’s impossible to you The city outside is nothing but a flicker now You see our friends to bed, you turn out the lights I start to think you’ll make a beautiful mother, I I like to think I have everything I want from this life
