It's the quiet night that breaks me

I cannot stand the sight of

this familiar place

It's the quiet night that breaks me

Like a dozen papercuts

that only I can trace

All my books are

lying useless now

All my maps will only

show me how to lose my way

Oh call my name

you know my name

And in that sound

everything will change

Tell me it won't

always be this hard

I am nothing without you

but I don't know who you are

It's the crowded room

that breaks me

Everybody looks so luminous

and strangely young

It's the crowded room

that's never heard

No one here can say

a word of my native tongue

I can't be

among them anymore

I fold myself away before

it burns me numb

Oh call my name

you know my name

And in your love

everything will change

Tell me it won't always

be this hard

I am nothing without you

but I don't know who you are

I am nothing without you

but I don't know who you are

I am nothing without you
