lyrics

JAMIE
Words by K. Adkins

An aching for my bed
A waking for the dead
A coffin for me
You hold my body

A morning for a death
A nighttime full of sweat
A desperate man’s dreams
You contain my screams

And Jamie says she is alright
Just one more hit before first light
You can take my hand, I don’t care
Don’t leave me drowning in this chair

A room of wrong-sized doors
A maze upon your floors
The rabbit holds the key
But he can’t chase me

A leash that’s just too tight
A dog that’s worse then its bite
The sum of all my tears
You consume my fears

And Jamie says she’s alright
Just one more hit before first light
You can take my hand, I don’t care
Don’t leave me drowning in this chair
Don’t leave me drowning in this chair

In this chair…

I penned another lonesome letter today
All the words you don't wanna hear me say
Know that I'll be there if you want me to

...To see that light inside of you
(but I'll keep holding onto you)
...That's grown so faint since I met you
(I'll be standing strong for you)

And Jamie says she’s alright
Just one more hit before first light
You can take my hand, I don’t care
Don’t leave me drowning in this chair

And Jamie says she’s alright
Just one more hit before first light
You can take my hand, I don’t care
Don’t leave me drowning in this chair
Don’t leave me drowning in this chair
Don’t leave me drowning in this chair
