[Verse]
Eyes wide open but the day's a blur
Chasing shadows where dreams occur
Twisting time in a slippered dance
Caught in a haze fighting the trance
[Verse 2]
Moonlight drumming a distant sound
Electric whispers wrap us round
Guitars weep stories the stars have told
An anxious warmth in the night's cold
[Chorus]
Oh the rhythm’s off but love beats true
An ache in the heart shadows the blue
Catching sleep like it’s liquid gold
Dreaming of peace in a restless hold
[Bridge]
Pulse of the beat like a clock unwinds
Lovers lost in parallel lines
Gutters croon with the lonely rain
A lullaby soaked in sweet disdain
[Verse 3]
Eyes half-closed but the mind’s wide awake
The blues in the air like a fine heartbreak
The bassline lingers soft and sly
Draped in echoes 'neath the tired sky
[Chorus]
Oh the rhythm’s off but love beats true
An ache in the heart shadows the blue
Catching sleep like it’s liquid gold
Dreaming of peace in a restless hold
