Lydia
A Camera Lens and Careful Days
It's always blue and black or breaking skin
Well, cover up, girl, we'll finally leave again
And you breathe me in so well
In your room under the cover of this night

We are safe; we are, as long as you whisper
But my eye was caught by your picture
That's hanging from your mirror, like something you forgot
I'll say we couldn't sleep just staring at the clock
But when numbers seem to blur and the reflection is lost
Anything is love as you stare into your box

So now we're used to the rain
We can swim and I'll say we were never worried
Because the floods will only bring the coast and Atlantic closer
I thought I told you, girl
I thought that I showed you the reason;
All I truly want is to get in your head
And steal your imagery
So we can both go to your second story house
You would never believe this snow
It gets so heavy on our lungs
But it's been creeping up your walls and closing down the roads
But I swear I'm loving while
I swear I still will hide away from the cold
"I think that for me, everyday would be the last day of summer
Or I'd be left out in the cold, with no place to go
Because, there are very few people that I can relate to
To every day of my life, forever, that will understand me
Because I've gone places where very few people ever go
I mean, I played the ultimate gamble of all; I gambled my life."

"You're fine, go back to work and we'll let you know when she comes."

I swear we're almost there and we'll be safe inside
Down those stairs to your room where I could stay for days
Substance is over us, please don't do this
'Cause this may never change, oh, but I'm still here, here
It's all the same
