"The West Is Dreaming"

Leave what you will and take if you need
you have familiar eyes and a similar taste
we could make this work with anyone
and the east is screaming your name
Take what you will and leave if you need
there's "indifference in my voice and walls around my heart"
this has gone on for far too long
pieces that once fit have been pulled apart

So it's stay or just walk away
I can tell by the way you've been sleeping
that you're afraid of what I've been thinking
Baby, stay or just keep away
I can tell by the way you've been leaving
and we've gone too long without speaking

You've been taking those pills earlier each night
the ones that you say have been helping you sleep
you could be dreaming of anyone
and the west is dreaming of me

There's no more walking on eggshells
cause there's nothing left to hide
we should be letting our guard down
there's no more secrets to find

Oh, if we could change, would we ever feel the same?
So what if we changed, would we ever be the same?
I would be willing to try

So it's stay or just walk away
I can tell by the way you've been sleeping
you're just afraid of what I've been thinking
Baby, stay or just keep away
I can tell by the way I've been drinking
that we've gone too long without speaking
