Icon


If I wasn't awake, I'd be dreaming
I took too many pills to be sleeping
And the memory of you keeps on creeping
Up my slippery spine all this evening

Take my hand in your hand like we're walking
On the pebbly sand and we're talking
Drive me up to the coast, lay my seat back
But I'm just in the room with the lights on

Oh oh ooh oh ooh oh
Every minute passes like an hour

When I'm just in the room with the lights on
And there's no one who knows I'm their icon
All that keeps me awake is the lights on
And there's no one who knows I'm their icon

The first line of the night cuts the deepest
Then I'm struggling to keep my secrets
As we order the drink that's the cheapest
If I lend you my kiss, please don't keep it
Oh oh ooh oh ooh oh
Every minute passes like an hour

When I'm just in the room with the lights on
And there's no one who knows I'm their icon
All that keeps me awake is the lights on
And there's no one who knows I'm their icon

Keep the lights on for my sake
Keep the lights on for my sake
Close my eyes I see your face
Close my eyes I see your face
I just keep myself awake
I just keep myself awake
I don't want to feel this way
I don't want to feel this

Just in the room with the lights on
And there's no one who knows I'm their icon
All that keeps me awake is the last line
And there's no one who knows I'm their icon

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
