Relief Next To Me

Description:

This is a song that Sara Quin wrote and that appeared on the album The Con. Sara sings the lead vocals and Tegan sings the background vocals.

Lyrics:

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 (I can’t untangle)

What I feel and what would matter most

I can't close an eye (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 (Oh in the dark)

I'm just no good at giving relief

In the dark (Oh in the dark)

It won't be easy to find relief

And I'm not proud (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 damn drawers slamming in my frame

Slamming in my framework

I can't untangle (I can’t untangle)

What I know and what should matter most

I can't close an eye (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 (Oh in the dark)

I'm just no good at giving relief

In the dark (Oh in the dark)

It won't be easy to find relief

And I'm not proud (And I’m not proud)

That nothing will seem easy about me

But I promise this (I promise this)

I won't go my whole life (I promise this)

Telling you I don't need (I promise this)

But I promise this (I promise this)

I won't go my whole life (I promise this)

Telling you I don't need (I promise this)

But I promise this (I promise this)

I won't go my whole life (I promise this)

Telling you I don't need (I promise this)

But I promise this (I promise this)

I won't go my whole life (I promise this)

Telling you I don't need (I promise this)

But I promise this (I promise this)

I won't go my whole life (I promise this)

Telling you I don't need (I promise this)
