Devil I know

I want to be in bed fast asleep.
Dreaming that maybe I'm okay.

That tomorrow stays far off 

Some place else.

Yesterday felt more like myself.

 

Should have stood my ground in the sun

Like the summer would want.

Not hide away

Like a vampire does,

His heart a ghost town.

 

Regret when your whole life's ahead 

Of you means sand's ticking away.

Kill you slower than a thousand 

Cuts people say.

So will I stay never quite okay.

“Should have stood my ground in the sun
Like the summer would want.”
This’s a great line.
Rory, the Summer still wants you to stand your ground in the sun.

In full disclosure once I had the first stanza 
I had this line to use up 
Originally it was

We should have lived in the sun
Like summer would want 

An attempt of mine trying to be romantic.
Instead it became a metaphor 
For me living like a vampire.

All well.

People, don't throw away your lines!
Work them until they work.
