Choisir c'est renoncer, to choose is to forsake
The sky is at its bluest right before the heartbreak
Seed into flower into tree into firewood
Beneath the browning leaves is
The sweet, sweet silence of the grave

Keeping you awake
Keeping you awake
Keeping you awake

Choisir c'est renoncer to choose is to forsake
When you blew out all the candles
what wishes did you wish you made?
Seed into flower into tree into firewood
Into the browning leaves
That crumble underneath your feet

Keeping you awake
Keeping you awake

It's easy to walk 'round in circles
When you don't lift your head up to see
Where you are going and who you are going to be

Keeping you awake
Keeping you awake

From the dew on the morning grass to the crest of the wave
To the sou'wester that's hittin' the coast
That rattles the windows in the dark

Keeping you awake
Keeping you awake
Keeping you awake
Keeping you awake
Keeping you awake
Keeping you awake
