Guernica

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Ever since I was young Your word is the word that always won Worry and wake the ones you love A phone call I'd rather not receive Please use my body while I sleep My lungs are fresh and yours to keep Kept clean and they will let you breathe [Pre-Chorus 1] Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry? I am the watch you always wear, but you forget to wind [Chorus] Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these So I sat alone and waited out the night The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around I'm not writing my goodbyes [Verse 2] I submit no excuse If this is what I have to do I owe you every day I wake If I could I would shrink myself And sink through your skin to your blood cells And remove whatever makes you hurt But I am too weak to be your cure [Pre-Chorus 1] Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry? I am the watch you always wear, but you forget to wind [Chorus] Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these So I sat alone and waited out the night The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around I'm not writing my goodbyes [Bridge] I'm not letting you check out You will beat this, starting now And you will always be around I'm there to monitor your breathing I will watch you while you're sleeping I will keep you safe and sound [Pre-Chorus 2] Does anybody remember back when you were very young? Did you ever think that you would be this blessed? [Chorus] Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these So I sat alone and waited out the night The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around I'm not writing my goodbyes
