For once there is nothing up my sleeve
Just some scars from a life that used to trouble me
I used to run at first sight of the sun
Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up

The city outside still sounds like it´s on fire
You put on new sheets
The white flag of a Saturday night
I know we stayed up talking in circles
But I like to think the symmetry
Will keep me close to you
For everyone, I´m out to pull wrong, you keep the light on
The only one, you now me better than the truth
So despite what I´ve done I pray to God that we can move on
Cause thus far you are the best thing that this life is yet to lose

[Refrain]
And, for once there is nothing up my sleeve
Just some scars from a life that used to trouble me
I used to run at first sight of the sun
Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up
I lay here waiting for you to wake up

So if you gonna leave, if you gonna go
I can´t bare to sleep without you in my arms
I know we got caught up slipping through a crowd of people and losers
But you must not let them take you
They don´t know you like I do

[Refrain]
For once there is nothing up my sleeve
Just some scars from a life that used to trouble me
I used to run at first sight of the sun
Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up
I lay here waiting for you to wake up

Do you remember when we stayed up till the sun stretched through the room
I used to blame it on the queens walking down 7th Avenue
It´s been years now since we moved
I´ve gotten through with an excuse
You know I try not to speak superlatives
But it´s imṗossible to you

The city outside is nothing but a flicker now
You see our friends to bed, you turn out the lights
I start to think you´ll make a beautiful mother, I
I like to think I have everything I want from this life.
