I've slept on the couch again
The sun is about to rise
I draw your name in the dust
When will you throw me out?

I'm in the studio, you know what that means
Dad is working hard, no reward without effort
Meanwhile it's half past two and I'm high
And whenever you ask where I am, I say: "Soon"
You send me an anchor, because I'm drifting too far for you
You want proof when I write to you, "I'm sorry"
Because when we see each other, we're arguing about shit
You were alone too often and over time you became ice
That's why you put a blanket on the couch for me
I stomp staggering through the house, too loud
I hope I don't wake you up
Darling, what have we become?
You cover me up and the sun rises, "Good morning"

I've slept on the couch again
The sun is about to rise
I draw your name in the dust
When will you throw me out?
You're there when I need you
And I come home late again
Can't sleep on the couch
But I'll never give you up

My head hurts and the wind is getting cold
You say I'm stealing your dreams
Honestly, it could be true
Everything around me is ashes because so many have burned
But a bit of me still shines like the stars when it's night
Maybe you're just in love with the thought
The boy from back then steals the flowers from the gas station
Today it's a hundred roses and diamonds
But tears on the marble because you don't know where your man is
You've cried too often because of me
But how many tears from you does it take to make it rain?
Too often I don't have time again
And no gift from me can stop you from wanting to leave

I've slept on the couch again
The sun is about to rise
I draw your name in the dust
When will you throw me out?
You're there when I need you
And I come home late again
Can't sleep on the couch
But I'll never give you up
