Can you hear me Joe Wake up how many fingers How can I be sure that you're still breathing Stay with me Sweating in the cold Your face is as white as the sheet on the bed Inside your head that you can feel on your cheek And I know that this isn't over not at all Ink pours from my fingers like a bursting dam Stay awake stay awake woah Stake awake stay awake wooooah And washes out my words from every strain of hair Stay awake stay awake woah Stake awake stay awake wooooah Words were once so clear But now they're knotting And I know I'll stop the clotting If I finish this chorus Can you feel the consonants unknotting And the vowels at last are flocking To my bridge and my verse Can you hear me Joe Wake up your body lingers Can you hear my voice above the static Stay with me Sweating more and more My fingers ache and yearn for the sand To swallow both of us and bring you safely back to my hands But I know that this isn't over Not at all Upon my head I sit cross-legged and uptight Stay awake stay awake woah Stay awake stay awake wooooah Rocking back and forth bemused by fireflies Stay awake stay awake woah Stay awake stay awake wooooah Words were once so clear But now they're knotting And I know I'll stop the clotting If I finish this chorus Can you feel the consonants unknotting And the vowels at last are flocking To my bridge and my verse When I checked out sobriety I checked into this I checked out my mindset and checked into bliss When I checked out sobriety I checked into this I checked out my mindset and checked into bliss Words were once so clear but now they're knotting And I know I'll stop the clotting If I finish this chorus Words were once so clear But now they're knotting And I know I'll stop the clotting If I finish this chorus Can you feel the consonants unknotting And the vowels at last are flocking To my bridge and my verse Can you hear me Joe
