Breathe in, don't forget to breathe out
Even the streetlights are tired tonight
We're wrapped up and naked in your sheets
And I can't untangle my legs from the soft cocoon of your ivory melancholy

Your breaths are cold, and I wonder how that's possible
Maybe it's cold inside your ventricles tonight
Maybe that's why I've been feeling so numb
Maybe not

Neither of us are speaking, only you're breathing
And I wonder where the thud of my heartbeat ran away to
I think you wonder too, but neither of us want to break the silence
So much is already broken

Breathe in, and we're both picking up on subtle notes of apathy and dissonance
It's a floral blend of apologies that neither of us owe each other
Breathe out and this whole room's on fire again

I'm too tired for this, and I'm too fragile for you
The moonlight is all caught up in your hair
There's a world out there dancing across your answering machine

I wonder who thinks of you when I can't anymore
I wonder who thinks of me
Breathe out and this will all be gone
