When You're Gone

My bed was fine with one for once
My days were filled with going through the motions
Which became
As simple as taking a breath of oxygen

As meaningful as swallowing down
The bad taste
That makes me shiver
Oh, even at
The sound of anything familiar

But somehow always
Carried me back
To the cold sheets
That broke the fever

What was I thinking
When I said

Sometimes when the light hits right
You become a work of art
Other times
I just need a warm body next to me

And you, you've mastered the act
Of being the perfect
Lover
By memorizing
Those movie scenes
That made her cry

And somehow always
Carried her back
To the cold sheets
That broke her fever

What was she thinking
When she said

And what was I thinking
When I said

Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight

Oh
Oh

This bed don't get no warmer
When you're gone
