[Verse 1]
The moon shoots shooting stars in the night
I can see them through the window from the bed inside the house where you live
And you are never awake when I count my thoughts or think I should think less
I know I always tend to go my own way
But I can come up with so many things I should change
So before the moon slowly fades and you wake up
Shall I glue new pages on me just to show you

[Chorus]
Layer on layer on layer on layer
While I get rid of what you don't want
I should've known better, but I'm striving
I should've known better, but I'm striving
Layer on layer on layer on layer
While I get rid of what you don't want
I should've known better, but I'm striving
I should've known better, but I'm striving

[Verse 2]
And I just want to read your dreams, your thoughts
To know who I really am inside there
To say the least, I don't know who I am anymore
And this bed has tendencies to hide it

I know that it's best to go my own way
But I can come up with so many things that I should change
So before the morning sun shines and you wake up
Shall I glue new pages on me just to show you
[Chorus]
Layer on layer on layer on layer
While I get rid of what you don't want
I should've known better, but I'm striving
I should've known better, but I'm striving
Layer on layer on layer on layer
While I get rid of what you don't want
I should've known better, but I'm striving
I should've known better, but I'm striving

[Outro]
The moon shoots shooting stars in the night
I can see them through the window from the bed inside the house where you live
And you are not awake when I sneak down the stairs
And for the last time, turn my back to the door where you live
