don't i know

lift your head up out of your hands love
i can't take you anywhere
sometimes you give me all you've got to give me
and sometimes you act like you don't care

don't i know
the days are only
what we make them
don't i know
the nights go only
where we take them

you carry all my light about you
drawing deeply in the air
a choice, a fight, a call, a whisper
you always let me know you're there

don't i know
the days are only
what we make them
don't i know
the nights go only
where we take them

an arrow pointed deep and directly
scatters on the silver soul
as if i never even noticed
i could be almost all the way home

don't i know
the days are only
what we make them
don't i know
the nights go only
where we take them

lift your head up out of your hands love
i can't take you anywhere
sometimes you give me all you've got to give me
and sometimes you act like you don't care

don't i know
the days are only
what we make them
don't i know
the nights go only
where we take them
