lyrics

When I'm away from home a few days
I adapt, I can sleep anywhere
But when I get home, at least for the first night
Sometimes I wake up, it isn't fair

Not when you're asleep, soundly indifferent
In healthy dream cycles, charging your batteries
I'm a flashlight fading on the sunlit trees
Shadows lengthening along the ground

Like they're being stretched
My mind's a fishhook
The day is what I catch
It's suicidal

It throws itself onto the barb
I can't shake free, what a reversal
The reluctant hook and the day that caught it
A passion play with much rehearsal

I know how it goes
I'm so resentful
Of your whistling nose
As you flirt with snoring

I'll put on my clothes
And go downstairs
'Cause the traffic shows
No sign of slowing

Inside my head And I've got so much to do
When all I want
Is to lie back down with you

Not that you'd notice

When I'm away from home a few days
I forget the easy living
So accustomed to the dislocation
And mattresses much less forgiving

Or at least not quite
Yeah, that's the problem
With this fight or flight
It wasn't bad

The hotel last night
Made me think that
All was right
But my alarms say

"Don't wake up
To the radio's bad news
Unless your love is there
To press the snooze
Button for you"
