Relief Next to Me by Tegan and Sara

I miss you now,
I guess like I should have missed you then.
My body moves
Like curtains waving in and out of wind,
In and out of windows.

I can't untangle (Tegan background: I can't untangle)
What I feel and what would matter most.
I can't close an eye, (T: I can't close an eye) can't close an eyelid.
Now there's just no point in reaching out for me.

In the dark, (T: in the dark) I'm just no good at giving relief.
In the dark, (T: oh, in the dark) it won't be easy to find relief.
And I'm not proud that nothing will seem easy about me.
But I promise this,
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need.
But I promise this,
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need.

I'll tell you now,
I guess like I should have told you then.
That thunder moves like dang drawers slamming in my frame,
Slamming in my framework.
I can't untangle (T: I can't untangle)
What I feel and what should matter most.
I can't close an eye, (T: I can't close an eye) can't close an eyelid.
Now there's just no point in reaching out for you.

In the dark, (T: in the dark) I'm just no good at giving relief.
In the dark, (T: oh, in the dark) it won't be easy to find relief.
And I'm not proud that nothing will seem easy about me.
But I promise this,
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need.
But I promise this,
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need.
But I promise this,
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need.
But I promise this,
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need.
