Defecting Grey Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sitting alone on a bench with you
Mirrored above in the sky
Wondering if you will say goodnight
Leave me a grave of goodbye?

[Interlude 1]
Night sky hangs in blackness
Night threads, patterns weaving
Somebody going tells you they are leaving
Casting gardens of shadow
Lights flash, someone is driving
Gears change, car on a highway going my way

[Verse 2]
Sitting alone on a bench with you
Talking 'bout your life and mine
I find and bet you just don't like snakes
They are just no friend of mine

[Interlude 2]
You've seen it all, but you're foregoing
You passed it by, but you're not knowing
You've had it all before, you're going home
You've seen them dying, now they're all alone

[Verse 3]
Sitting alone on a bench with you
Dipping my eyes in the stream
Breath from your lips chases shadows away
Clearing the mist from a tree

[Verse 4]
Sitting alone on a bench with you
Just as you get up to leave
Holding my breath as I touch your hand
Left with the brush of your sleeve

[Interlude 4]
See you in the morning
Just as dawn starts dawning

[Verse 5/Outro]
Sitting alone on an empty bench
Mirrored above in the sky
