Lyrics:

There was a time I'd tell you that I loved you
And not even look at your face
Yeah well, there was a time I thought I was above you
Up high's such a terrifying place

We can't watch the starry skies
'cause we will both be sleeping
But if you are dead and I'm alive
Then whose mind does your thinking?

This is a dreamscape of horrors and wishes
I thought it was real as my flesh
But as it melts away, yes it’s plain as the new day
I’m lying asleep in my bed

I've loved maybe once in my whole life
And it's kicked me in the chest a dozen times
But if I am dead and you're alive
Then whose heart keeps on beating for mine?

I wanted to write you another lullaby song
But I'm not sure my words are that kind
There's something I should say, please don't take this the wrong way
But I don't know your mind, and you don't know mine

We can't watch the starry skies
'cause we will both be sleeping
But if you are dead and I'm alive
Then whose mind does your thinking?
But if I am dead and you're alive
Then whose heart keeps on beating for mine?

There's something I should say, please don't take this the wrong way
But I won’t know your mind, you’ll never know mine
