Every Night Lyrics by Backpacks

Still Life

2015

{Verse 1}
Treading water with two anchors on my ankles
While the plankton laugh hysterically at how my body dangles
Towards the surface
I'm not going anywhere for a while
Losing oxygen I reach for you to save me
But you're caught up on the shore
With everyone else misbehaving;
So let me drown
But I would still give you everything left in my lungs
If I could

Why do I do this?
I'll never know
My head moves too fast to ever slow

[Chorus]
Have you ever loved someone
But not known them at all?
So far away
But still you feel your souls are intertwining
Does this even matter?
Why is your heart so inviting?

[Verse 2]
Who am I to even think that you would have me?
If you saw me in the street
Would you stop or would you pass me?
It's hard to tell
Well I've walked this block six times and worn holes in my shoes
And there's still no sign of you

[Chorus]
Did you ever fall asleep or did you lay awake?
It's two a.m. and there's no one else I'd rather have beside me
Thoughts like this could kill a man;
Every night for the past six years now
