Splinter Lyrics by Dan Owen

Stay Awake With Me

2015

[Verse 1]
I found you in my thoughts again
Like a splinter under my skin
And I know that it was just one night
You´re like a spark in the fading light

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You cut me deep, left no scars but I still feel them
You´re in my blood and your heartbeat draws me nearer

[Chorus]
The dice were loaded from the start
We're trying to keep these splinters from our hearts
And when the pain don't leave a scar
We're trying to keep these splinters from our hearts

[Verse 2]
Do you keep it all locked up within?
Am I the splinter under your skin?
Do you see me when you close your eyes?
Am I the secret you try to hide?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Is there something there that you won't see, 'cause I still feel you
Am I on your mind? Your heartbeat draws me nearer

[Chorus]
The dice were loaded from the start
We're trying to keep these splinters from our hearts
And when the pain don't leave a scar
We´re trying to keep these splinters from our hearts

[Bridge]
Deep down every splinter, every splinter scars
Deep down every splinter, every splinter scars

[Chorus]
The dice were loaded from the start
We're trying to keep these splinters from our hearts
And when the pain don't leave a scar
We're trying to keep these splinters from our hearts
