Xavier Dunn
Lullabye
Is it nightfall where you are?
Are you tangled in a stranger on a sunset boulevard?
I know it’s not my place to care
But I hope you’re happy there

I was salve to all your scars
Guess I gave away my right to that the day I broke your heart
But as I chose the troubled track
I took one last look back

Maybe in some other universe
I would be the one who gets to see the morning sun
As it shines on your face, yes I’d be the first
To hold you when you cry
While I sing to you the words of a lullabye

All those nights you couldn’t sleep
You gave your body like a secret you entrusted me to keep
Our love was some unearthly thing
And now I watch it sink

But maybe in some other universe
I would be the one who gets to see the morning sun
As it shines on your face, yes I’d be the first
You’d run to when you cry
While I sing to you the words of a lullabye
When we meet again it will be so perfect it will heal us
All my weakness (all my weakness will be)
Will be turned into your strength
You’ll never know the wrench of goodbye
Eternal sublime (sublime)
Just not in this life
Not in this life (no, not in this life)

In another universe
In another universe
