Wye Oak: Take It In

Half the day away
Half again asleep
I am left alone with dreams

I wouldn’t care if I…
I wouldn’t care if you
Is it still a lie, if it’s true

Do you never ask
because I’ll never tell
We are both the same
Unwell…

But how much would you ask,
and what did you expect
what it is that we, have left

Oh baby, you’re a child
You fall asleep and I get wild
I turn to smoke when you need air
I’m sorry, baby, I don’t care

Do you never ask
because you know I’ll say
“You’re the only one
Please stay.”
But you’re not the only one
and you know it’s only fair
When you close your eyes, who’s there

You’re a baby, you’re a child
You fall asleep and I get wild
I turn to smoke when you need air
I’m sorry, baby, I don’t care

You’re my only, you’re my…
I said “I love you”
said “you’re mine”

I take it back. I’ll take it in
till’ I never need air again
