[Verse 1]
You were the pillow
I was the dark room
It's ones and zeros
Yet life in full bloom
You shape the feeling
I just mould around you
It's so dark and dreary
Please find the sun soon
[Pre-Chorus]
You left a dent inside my soul
I know, I know
I'm on the edge, where do I go?
Oh
[Chorus]
I feel most alive staring out your window
It's a garden life, you are the weeping willow
And I am alcohol, swimming through your system
Lulling you to sleep, on and on we dream

And I am alcohol, swimming through your system
Lulling you to sleep, on and on we dream

What comes after me? (We can't stay forever)
[Pre-Chorus]
You left a dent inside my soul
(What comes after me? We can't stay forever)
I know, I know
(What comes after me? We can't stay forever)
You left a dent inside my soul
(What comes after me? We can't stay forever)
(What comes after me?)
