Waking Up Beside You
Stabbing Westward
Darkest Days (1998)

I've been so alone for so long
forgotten by the world
forgotten to myself
your effervescent eyes have awakened me
and brushed the dust away...
but i knew you'd never stay

so i memorized the color of your eyes
as i lost myself inside you
and i memorized the way our legs entwined
as i drifted of beside you
i miss
god i miss waking up beside you

at night i cling to you i'm so afraid
afraid the day will come
and i'll wake up and find you gone
but you promise that you'd not abandon me
and then kissed my fears away
but i woke up to that day

but i memorized the way our eyes would meet
reflected off the bathroom mirror
and i memorized your naked silhouette
as you slowly brushed your hair
i miss
god i miss waking up beside you

i've been alone for so long
i forgot how much it hurts to wake up so alone

but i'd memorized how warm your body felt
as you lay half asleep beside me
and i memorized the way the sunlight filled the room
and played upon your body
i miss
god i miss waking up beside you
