A Camera Lens and Careful Days

It's always blue and black or breaking skin Well, cover up, girl, we'll finally leave again And you breathe me in so well In your room under the cover of this night We are safe; we are, as long as you whisper But my eye was caught by your picture That's hanging from your mirror, like something you forgot I'll say we couldn't sleep just staring at the clock But when numbers seem to blur and the reflection is lost Anything is love as you stare into your box So now we're used to the rain We can swim and I'll say we were never worried Because the floods will only bring the coast and Atlantic closer I thought I told you, girl I thought that I showed you the reason All I truly want is to get in your head And steal your imagery So we can both go to your second story house You would never believe this snow It gets so heavy on our lungs But it's been creeping up your walls and closing down the roads But I swear I'm loving while I swear I still will hide, I'll hide away from the cold (I think that, for me, every day will be the last day of summer) (And I'd be left out in the cold, with no place to go) (I guess... there are very few people that I, I can relate to) (To every day of my life, forever, that will understand me) (Because I've gone places where very few people ever go) (I mean, I played the ultimate gamble of all; I gambled my life) (You're fine, go back to work and we'll let you know when she comes) I swear we're almost there and we'll be safe inside Down those stairs to your room where I could stay for days Substance is over us, please don't do this 'Cause this may never change, oh, but I'm still here, here It's all the same
