sleepy hollow

oh she sings the songs
as if she's written them
in the space between her lips
where all her love runs thin
she'll break you with a song
oh feel her words chew through
your skin and bones
feel all alone
like it's you she's singing to

oh,
i never knew that i could feel the love
that someone else had twisted up
oh
i never knew that i could feel the love
that someone else was speaking of

oh
let me feel it all
oh
let me feel it all
remind me it's still deep within my soul
it's just sleeping in
and it'll wake up tomorrow

oh how he pulls the words
from under my seat
as though these were verses
he'd never repeat
stretch out all the feelings
like they're mine instead
drunk and shaking
your melody's
gone straight to my head

oh,
i never knew that i could feel the love
that someone else had twisted up
oh
i never knew that i could feel the love
that someone else was speaking of

oh
let me feel it all
oh
let me feel it all
remind me it's still deep within my soul
it's just sleeping in
and it'll wake up tomorrow
