Lyrics

i see you

you see me eighteenth floor across the street sometimes you dance sometimes you read

tv dinners fall asleep

>

do i ever cross your mind

through your window in the sky when you forget to close the blinds

so do i

>

i see you

check your phone wash the dishes fold the clothes sometimes you stay up and get stoned

but you always sleep alone

>

do i ever cross your mind

through your window in the sky when you forget to close the blinds

so do i
