Choisir c'est renoncer, to choose is to forsake

The sky is at its bluest right before the heartbreak

Seed into flower into tree into firewood

Beneath the browning leaves is

The sweet, sweet silence of the grave

Keeping you awake

Keeping you awake

Keeping you awake

Choisir c'est renoncer to choose is to forsake

When you blew out all the candles

what wishes did you wish you made?

Seed into flower into tree into firewood

Into the browning leaves

That crumble underneath your feet

Keeping you awake

Keeping you awake

It's easy to walk 'round in circles

When you don't lift your head up to see

Where you are going and who you are going to be

Keeping you awake

Keeping you awake

From the dew on the morning grass to the crest of the wave

To the sou'wester that's hittin' the coast

That rattles the windows in the dark

Keeping you awake

Keeping you awake

Keeping you awake

Keeping you awake

Keeping you awake

Keeping you awake
