Recorded in the living room of the Cleaves' household.

lyrics

I peal open these stubborn sheets
Like a fresh wound and expose your pillowed effigy
You’ve been gone for so long
Like you were never here just a songbird singing in my tired ear
So I lay myself down by your side
Buried deep in this coffin of white
Where weeping and wailing is all I can do these days
‘cause your lips won’t move or say a single thing to me

Am I crazy for wanting you?
Am I crazy to put my heart this abuse?
Am I crazy?
Maybe.

In my dreams between fitted sheets
You avert your eyes and hide from the morning light
Where I’ve watched you body wax and wane
Through the moonbeams ‘cause with you here I cannot sleep a wink
I can’t say what’s plain to see
It’s my hands that are pinned with all this guilt inside of me
Get me out of Texas and this goddamn heat
Fit me to your puzzled hips and unlock your doorknob knees for me.

Am I crazy for wanting you?
Am I crazy to put my heart this abuse?
Am I crazy?
Maybe.

I peal back these lonesome sheets
Like a fresh wound and close the bandages around
