Lyrics for Turquoise Walls

When I thought that I might lose you Oh, I trembled like a leaf Tattered by the wind And torn by the September storm I tossed and turned and threw The blankets off, oh, I could not sleep Thinking you were keeping Someone else's pillow warm Oh, and the hours dragged by And I heard that whistle call I didn't know what to do I just stared at the turquoise walls The warmth, the beauty of your eyes It crushes me to think That you could give that love to someone else Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde Oh, I felt so crazy inside Brewing on the bed The worst version of myself Oh, and the hours dragged by And I heard that whistle call I didn't know what to do I just stared at the turquoise walls I texted you some cryptic shit And soon was consumed with regret The horse on the Lurie painting came alive Then it told me to stop worrying girl Girl don't lose your head Have you considered that maybe his phone just died? Oh, and the hours dragged by And I heard that distant call I didn't know what to do I just stared at the turquoise walls No, and the hours dragged by And I heard that distant call I didn't know what to do I just stared at the turquoise walls
