about

Part of the Bedroom Sessions, Autumn 2013. Just me, a mic, and a song.

lyrics

I love the tremble of your eyelids when you sleep
Your hair is restless, casting shadows on your dreams
But I’m troubled, faking slumber, damaged from the sting
‘Cause I swear you said this doesn’t mean a thing
And while your heart is mending mine is wearing at the seams

But I don’t want to live without this
I don’t want to live without this
I don’t want to live without this
This beautiful nightmare of mine

I know you're tangled in another man's embrace
But just like poison ivy he's a chain around your waist
And here I am still reeling from the time you let me in
And I swear you said that didn't mean a thing
Though your heart is mended mine is broken at the seams

But I don’t want to live without this
I don’t want to live without this
I don’t want to live without this
This beautiful nightmare of mine

Don't, don't wake me up, I may be dreaming
But if dreaming is the only thing I've got then

I don’t want to live without this
I don’t want to live without this
I don’t want to live without this
This beautiful nightmare of mine
