Can't sleep

You can't seem to sleep alone
Hold your ear up to the phone
I'll put the phone up to my heart
The thump-pause-thump-pause will put you right to sleep
Too many nights too far away
Wrong words mixed with raw mistakes
You always held the tethers
That bound us together
So why are you letting go?
You say my heartbeat's getting slow
Your love used to burn my heart like a cigarette
Now you're heavy-hearted, full of regret
Miles stretch farther now
I can't reach you somehow
Return to me tonight
Rock paper scissors
And scissors always cut the deepest
You won and went away
And I can't sleep alone
So put your heartbeat on the phone
Just put your pulse up to the phone
