Falling Asleep

Do your ideals rust in the rain?
 Do you feel our lives are oh so plain?
 Genuine lies, an admission to doubt
 There's wisdom in knowing that we know nothing about ourselves
 And we crash and burn
 What's there to say if you can't say it?
 And if I can't explain it, how do I expect you to change it?
 I thought you could read my mind but I don't
 Think you have the patience or the time to read the signs
 Every time I try to I can't breathe
 And when I write you it's cause I can't speak
 I don't say what I want cause
 I want what you're not and I'm falling asleep
 And when you go to Seattle in May
 I hope it rains up and down on your parade
 Just like you did on all my good days
 And I put this all on you but I got to
 Trust myself that I won't drown in another shallow pool again like you
 And maybe one day just one day
 Feel what I think and think what I feel
 Every time I try to I can't breathe
 And when I write you it's cause I can't speak
 I don't say what I want cause I want
 What you're not and I'm falling asleep
 Every time I try to I can't breathe
 And when I write you it's cause I can't speak
 I don't say what I want cause
 I want what you're not and I'm falling asleep
