[Verse 1]
So hard to sleep, but so easy to dream
So hard to fall asleep, but so easy to fall for your dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
And you take me by the shoulders
Tell me I’m the one with choices
Want the world to keep on rolling
Bury her, you know she can’t hold us all, hold us all
[Chorus]
And your words fall on my vacant heart
Got me thinking that
I am just a body, oh I am just a body
That can make you happy for a little while
You will drown in love
But I am just a body, oh I am just a body
No soul, no soul
[Verse 2]
So quick to give it all, but won’t answer that call
How can you love someone if you don’t love yourself?
Float in, and out, the mind’s not present at all
[Pre-Chorus]
And you take me by the shoulders
Tell me I’m the one with choices
Want the world to keep on rolling
Bury her, you know she can’t hold us all, hold us all
[Chorus]
And your words fall on my vacant heart
Got me thinking that
I am just a body, oh I am just a body
That can make you happy for a little while
You will drown in love
But I am just a body, oh I am just a body
No soul, no soul
No soul, no soul
[Bridge]
I wish that I could give my life, instead of you, instead of you
I wish that I could hold your heart
The broken beat, beats in the dark
I wish I could fight it, the angels’ crying to sleep that night because of you
[Chorus]
And your words fall on my vacant heart
Got me thinking that
I am just a body, oh I am just a body
That can make you happy for a little while
You will drown in love
But I am just a body, oh I am just a body
No soul, no soul
No soul, no soul

I wrote this song after listening to a lot to the Sufjan Stevens album Carrie & Lowell. Never before have I listened to an album so many times. I’ve dealt with a far bit of loss in my life and I was in a pretty dark place when I wrote this one, so it was a massive release for me to get out. It’s...
