A record plays, he hums along
He loves the words, he gets them wrong
I shut my mouth, I shut my eyes
And let the wrong hands feel like mine
You said move on, where do I fall?
When every road curves to your wall
And second best is all I know
'Cause lying next to him at night
I'm somewhere else behind my eyes
Every touch, every breath, every sound
Just pulls me further underground
What would you do if you were here?
Would you hold me close or disappear?
Oh, I'm staring at the wrong sky
Through somebody else's eyes
Through somebody else's eyes
You're summer in the middle of snow
A warmth that only I would know
His arms are shaped, but they're not yours
Like keys that fit the wrong doors
He kissed my lips, I taste your mouth
The ghost of you won't quite get out
They said go swim, the water's wide
But every wave just pulls you tight
His breath is warm, but it's not home
I count the cracks inside my bones
And nothing heals and nothing's whole
'Cause lying next to him at night
I'm drifting back behind my eyes
Every touch, every breath, every sound
Keeps dragging me underground
What would you do if you were near?
Would you stay or let me steer?
Oh, I'm drowning in the wrong light
Through somebody else's eyes
Through somebody else's eyes
Your shirt still folds inside the drawer
The crease remembers what I wore
I press my face into the thread
And breathe in something already dead
If I could turn each clock around
I'd catch you right before the ground
And never let the best thing drown
'Cause even now I slip away
To your mouth, your hands, your face
Every touch, every breath, every prayer
Just proves that you're still there
What would you do if I came home?
Would you let me in or leave alone?
Oh, I'm looking through the wrong door
For the eyes I'm still waiting for
You were the best, and yes, I know
I let myself, let myself let you go
The flame I grab still burns my palm
I learned the words but lost the song
So break the door and take me out
I can't keep breathing someone now
'Cause lying here, I'll always be
Half of you and half of me
Every touch, every breath, every name
Leads me right back to the flame
Oh, won't you come and pull me through
This life I'm faking without you
Looking for the only eyes
Where I'd spend every night
