[Verse 1]
Somewhere there’s a light in an empty room
When my mind is adrift, I’m back there with you
You said a little much, much too late
Last cheers on a whim, let’s make a night of it
[Refrain]
What gives?
Even in the calm there’s a hum in it
What gives?
I promise in a while I’ll come out again
What gives?
Say all of it is fine, you’re so sure of it
What gives?
Even when it's cold, you're not coming in
[Verse 2]
I didn’t mean to disappear
It’s just there’s nothing for me here
But I’m singing all the time
And though I talk the evening through
I know I never needed to
You just let me get it right
Say maybe we’ll fall out of time
But everything we do survives
Like a chorus in the night
[Bridge]
When I don’t know your name
When I don’t know just what it is I’m saying
When I don’t know your face
Lover, stranger, stay
And if leave as I came
Will I wander back in just the same?
I was pulled by a thirst
I was drowned in the words of the saints
And if I’ve grown out of touch
Well it’s from thinking too much, all my days
I saw my body take flight
I felt my limbs come alive over you
Oh the slip of your touch
All of your being undone at the seams
And as I drift from your room
It’s on the wings of a cold afternoon
[Outro]
I’m alright with it
I’m alright with it
I’m alright with it
I’m alright with it
I’m alright with it
I’m alright with it
I’m alright with it
I’m alright with it
