Store Room |
It’s not the wind that keeps you up, it’s not the snow |
It’s not the moon coming like a headlight through your window |
It’s not the thumbnail of a screen that scrapes away your dream |
It’s just this man taking what he needs from the store room |
It’s not the news of burning towns that ruins your mind |
Like a spool you turn and you turn but it won’t unwind |
No these wars you did not start, they don’t tear your sleep apart |
It’s just a man taking what he needs from the store room |
And now this woman by your side, well, she’s asleep |
And there’s nothing you can give her and there’s nothing you want to keep |
You don’t even try to prove that the noise is neighbors making love |
It’s just a man taking what he needs from the store room |
Well go to sleep and change the locks when you wake up |
Share your toast, maybe spill some coffee from your cup |
Oh, there’s nothing left to choose and there is so much more to lose |
There’s this man taking what he needs from the store room |
It’s not the wind that keeps you up, it’s not the snow |
It’s not the moon coming like a headlight through your window |
It’s not the thumbnail of a screen that scrapes away your dream |
It’s just a man taking what he needs from the store room |
It’s not the news of burning towns that ruins your mind |
Like a spool you turn and turn but won’t unwind |
No these wars you did not start, they don’t tear your sleep apart |
It’s just a man taking what he needs from the store room |
And now the woman by your side, well, she’s awake |
But there’s nothing you can give her and there’s nothing you want to take |
You don’t even try to prove that the noise is neighbors making love |
It’s just a man taking what he needs from the store room |
Or go to sleep and change the locks when you wake up |
Share your toast, maybe spill a little coffee from your cup |
He’s got nothing left to choose and you’ve got so much more to lose |
There’s just a man taking what he needs from the store room |
It’s not the wind |
