I saw it all 
Happened on the golden sheets 
In the morning
You were asleep 
Hazy in your golden days

There was a child 
Moving on the mother's breast 
Breathing only
Dust in the light 
But you know it's awfully hard 
To dream

I was a knight 
In my mother's arms 
Black as mourning
Wearing the lights 
Glowing so my sister 
Could see

I felt it all 
But you know it's awfully hard 
To talk about it
Try to recall
The girls when I was seventeen—
A dream

Know this can't be right 
But it's awfully hard to fight 
When it’s going quickly and it's like 
We're half asleep
There's no rosy almost days behind 
These painted lady eyes 
Let it go and all that they imply 
Get over me

I was afraid 
When I left my home 
And my mother
Sadness my friend 
She used to play for me 
And sing

Know this can't be right 
But it's awfully hard to fight 
When it’s going quickly and it's like 
We're half asleep
There's no rosy almost days behind 
These painted lady eyes 
Let it go and all that they imply 
Get over me

It's hard to talk about 
When inside you're freaking out 
When it's going quickly and you doubt 
You're anything
But it's what we have instead of God 
What we have instead of God 
What we have instead of God 
We're anything

But it's what we have instead of God 
What we have instead of God 
What we have instead of God 
We're anything

What we have instead of God 
Like the moment after love 
When we know we finally kill the buzz 
So we can sleep
And we can finally let it lie 
While the days keep passing by 
Carried on the little deaths we die 
Then we can sleep

Where have you been? 
Wish I could talk to you 
I’ve been dreaming
I don't wanna die 
Lying on the palest sheets 
In the morning
I felt it all 
But you know it's awfully hard 
I don't wanna die 
Lying in my mother's bed 
In the morning
