lyrics

I'd like to sing you to sleep with a simple song that you could hum while you brush your teeth. You're teeming with wonder the moment you close your eyes, but it's somewhere removed so you won't feel it for a while.
I'd like to put you to sleep with a simple song that you could hum while you sharpen your teeth. All this work to convince me to leave, and tell me of my little worth. And it worked.
It waits for me in shadows
The doubt wants me to sleep
With a troubled hum
And wavering heartbeat
No escape from the days I waste away or the people I know in a crowd. I used to believe in chances now only doubt.
I could be your affinity for the west. Or that birthmark on your chest. The falling feeling of being in love.
But I could never be your broken bird or your turtle dove.
I could be the reason you don't make plans or why you learned to dance but never the floor that you walk on.
Little old me, I am just a dying thing. Little old me, I'm broken.
I'm not yours I could never be.
