186

how can you fall asleep
in this sea of noise, baby?
with your window open, cars passing by,
i heard them through my walls, through my blank computer screen.
your heart beating too fast too, like a buzzing hummingbird, and i also remember this from putting my head on your chest too many days ago.
this world is beautiful, and in dreams you can't feel anything except happy,
head wandering, you won't feel nauseous, but hold in your stomach anyway because you will wake up feeling cold like i do.
every night, when you are sleeping, i'll still be awake for many hours,
playing my guitar, a melody about an young boy, a war, a cliff, waves,
"oh you, oh you, oh you."
