I Swallow Ghosts - All I Can Give Lyrics

Showed up late
Tell everyone I'm sorry
I hate to be this way
But you should all know by now
Aimed for a passing grade
But never reached much further
Ain't life so strange
My mind's old but my body feels older

Started counting lines
Around the corners of my eyes
Recounted the times
Through too many beers so my words barely worked
Thought of you last night
Not really sure if I made you proud
So I just sleep at least in my dreams you're proud of me
Are you?

You can't, you can't stay in bed forever
Just because things didn't go as planned
You can't, you can't sleep forever
The sun will lick your skin and wake you from the dead
You can't, you can't hide forever
Cuts and scrapes will heal, lost parts grow back
You can't, you can't lie forever
I know it hurts but the truth is it won't last

You can't, you can't stay in bed forever
Just because things didn't go as planned
You can't, you can't sleep forever
The sun will lick your skin and wake you from the dead
