[verse] I wake up slick with sweat, Briny tears, plip-plop-plip, one-by-one — as it should be — onto my chest. My musk smells, tastes like you; My muscles are stiff from last night. When we are dead, I say. [chorus] An empty room ignores bulging pajamas; — carnal desire — to feel you inside me again. (My heart aches, I need you now) My mind straddles you, My line between dream and nightmare. (Still I reach out, still I fall) When we are dead, I say. [verse] A visceral longing won’t come, it won’t — I yank an unsuspecting pillow — to prevent sunbeams’ queries. Who did you wake up with, Who did you wake up with, this morning? [chorus] When we are dead, I say, When we are dead, and then — I finally realized — I’d sleep just to run away with you again. (Just to hold you, one more time)
