You left before I was awake
The bed was warm
I dreamt that you had stayed
before we were
Pinned to the night
Unlucky stars were shining down
And Now you’re reaching out
With sailor arms
Arctic white
Cold as hell
I hope that I find another way
Through all the landmines
you left buried in your place
we were two different films
On the same screen
A miracle
our eyes could ever meet
til golden hours were cold and strange
on the last time you tried to look my way
You were holding back
With sailor arms
Arctic white
Cold as hell
I hope that I find another way
Through all the landmines
you left buried in your place
A new kind of alarm
to wake me from my sleep
Telling me what I’ve been given’s
not the same as what I keep
and I paid for every good day
with a night beyond control
Telling me that forgetting’s
not the same as letting go
Of sailor arms
Arctic white
Scared to death
