Portraits Lyrics by The Tisburys

Wax Nostalgic

0

I never feel better when we aren’t together
You make me want to go back to bed
I stare at the ceiling, and you know what i’m feeling
You live in the visions in my head
At night I paint pictures in my sleep
Portraits of you lying next to me
That’s how I’ve always wanted it to be
Never on my own
At night my eyes play tricks on me
They’re closed but they see what they want to see
You are still there even when you leave
And I’m alonе
Sleep is for artists that don’t know what to start with
I gave away my tattered drеams
I thought I was blinded, but it’s been decided
The world is not what it seems
At night I paint pictures in my sleep
Portraits of you lying next to me
That’s how I’ve always wanted it to be
Never on my own
At night my eyes play tricks on me
They’re closed but they see what they want to see
You are still there even when you leave
And I’m alone
And here, in the light
With a silver plane above
I see the moon, I see the stars
I see a flight of never ending stairs
Circling around a vantage point
I never want to look down
And learn where we are
The world is so dark and deep
So I need you to hold on tight to me
You need to tell me what I will believe
That I’m not alone
We’re twisted in and in-between
So far from the land and from the sea
So take hold of me and we’ll float down stream
Away from home
