Can You Do Me A Kindess? Lyrics - Hotel Books

I don't go outside as much as I used to 

I'm not home just in my house forgetting myself or at least trying to 

But not forgiving until I come back out 

I have a light on in my room during the day I hardly notice it 

But at night it keeps me from falling asleep 

I have this dream of knowing you, during the day I hardly notice it 

But at night it keeps me from all other dreams 

The numbing of time taught me how to finally fall asleep 

I just wish you'd come home and teach me how to wake back up 

This is torture, this is truth, this is unfamiliar pain 

This is following an ache but this is love

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

There's a railroad track behind my house at night I can hear a freight being taken to retail 

But I'm still not sold on letting myself out 

I never knew it was cold until I knew how the heat felt 

You were always warm when put in one place 

But I was too shallow to contain the same flame 

There's a nicotine patch on my nightstand 

You never did quit, but at least you tried 

Or maybe you did but I never saw you lift a cigarette to your lips 

I was preoccupied looking into my reflection and the way you said you felt alive 

Photos 

Your infection inflects the walls each night 

And the shades of colour are all black and white 

Just like your goodbye 

You said to stop letting your love consume my mind 

I never did quit, but at least you tried 

I don't go outside as much as I used to 

I'm not home, I'm just trying to sleep at night 

Forgetting your love or at least trying to 

You said goodbye, now just say goodnight
