lyrics

Every night or so I came to lie down at your side to rest
and only speak in whispers to each other, just to taste your breath
As we appeared within each other's eye, we steamed them up
I thought the sighs that gave us sight were the size of us

Then you came for touch and talk when I was sad and didn't want to meet
I thought that I would see myself too closely in your company
And if the wind changed when I was down, would I be stuck?
You said the wind would change again and we should just meet up

Hold the mirror, hold me now
I will let you see whoever's there
I would always go by now
but instead I feel down and I'm not going anywhere

Every night or so I came to lie down at your side to rest
and only speak in whispers to each other, just to taste your breath
As we appeared within each other's eyes, you saw me down
I saw myself as clear and loud and I stuck around

Hold the mirror, hold me now
I will let you see whoever's there
I would always go by now
but instead I feel down and I'm not going anywhere

If we stick around
if we push our luck
If you see me now
then you hold me up

If we mix our mouths
and we push our luck
If we stick around
Come on let's both stick around and not get stuck
