• Rise, fall, rise fall
    there's a two second pause
    I'm watching the clock
    and watching you sleep

    Strange how my arms aren't around you
    strange how I'm sitting on the floor
    a year ago I would have been on that bed
    but, I just sit here watching instead

    Rise, fall, rise, fall
    another two seconds pass us by
    a small gasp for breath
    another demi-cry

    And, I just want to hold you
    and, I just want to tell you everything
    but, that would wake you
    you look so beautiful...when you're sleeping

    Rise, fall, rise, fall
    two more seconds deleted
    roll to your side
    my name gets repeated?

    Tell me what to say
    tell me what to do
    with how shy I am
    if only you just knew

    Rise, fall, rise, fall
    a two second decision
    and I'll tell you everything
    words with pinpoint precision

    Yes, I love you
    I always will
    but you hear nothing
    you probably never will

    Rise, fall, rise, fall
    these past two seconds
    I start saying everything
    as you keep sleeping
