lyrics

Hey cloud, how are you doing there?
Why are you staring so blankly?
Are you carrying a storm just to drop it onto me?
I've never done anything wrong.

Lonely girl, who are you looking for?
Don't you know that she's been lost for years?
Covered beneath some blankets with a pillow for a cure.
Could you tell me what she was like before?

Holding your breath does no damage.
Singing songs only makes it worse.
Because this time it truly hurts.

I'm closing my eyes and counting to ten.
They say it always helps with whatever you need it for.
But all I need to have is what I had before.
It doesn't look too good right now.

Lonely girl, who are you dreaming of?
A nice boy? Or just a boy?
Pressed between your sheets with his arms around you.
Could you tell me what it's like?

Holding your breath does no damage.
Singing songs only makes it worse.
Because this time it truly hurts.

Five flights down there's a girl.
All she does is dream.
