Royal Songtext
von Make Do and Mend

Nights like these feel too big for me
On this endless stretch of apartment sheets
But still, the chains of the snowless streets
Sing to me
And it seems to be that every night for at least the last few weeks
You hold me close and my heart admits defeat
And with a slow and pace it beats
It hums the day complete and I fall asleep

You′re the only habit I won't break
The only set of vacancies I save
But you deserve a reverence I can′t pay


Now every morning I can hear you chase
The monsters of your waking hours away
You turn to me and say
"Baby boy, it hurts to have to wait."
And for the next few months that I'm away
You feel the ground below you start to shake
You say, "There's nothing I can do
The bruises are more black than they are blue."

You′re the only habit I won′t break
The only set of vacancies I save
But you deserve a reverence I can't pay

You′re the only habit I won't break
The only set of vacancies I save
You feel it further every day
But you deserve a reverence I can′t pay
