The sadness in your eyes
Like the children we pass on the street
And ignoring their empty styrofoam cups
As they beg for money
And beg for change
So when you told me not to come home
All I could think was, at least I have a home I can leave

The Summer rain always tasted cleaner
You know it's not in the words you say
But the space inbetween
The silences you let fester
I've been searching for anything to tell me
Anything at all

And who will take my place
In my bed when I'm away?
And who will take my seat at the table?
And who will notice when
My bones betray my skin
And who will make me leave when I'm unable?

I regret everything I remember
And I never forget
I thought I would miss your waves
Until I remembered how it felt to drown
I know all the words you never bothered to say
Are all the words I needed to hear

Scratch at the walls until your fingers turn blue
You know we'll turn our heads

And who will take my place
In my bed when I'm away?
And who will take my seat at the table?
And who will notice when
My bones betray my skin
And who will make me leave when I'm unable?

And who will take my place
In my bed when I'm away?
And who will take my seat at the table?
And who will notice when
My bones betray my skin
And who will make me leave when I'm unable?

Wait
This isn't the place
This isn't home
This is no place at all
Wait
This isn't the time
This watch isn't mine
The hands point me in the wrong directions
Wait
This isn't my mind
I've seen the insides
The wheels turn, but I still can't navigate
Wait
This isn't the map
I've never been so lost
Spit the gravel to make the roads
Wait
This isn't my heart
The way it used to beat
I've never felt so hollow
Wait
These aren't my muscles
I feel weak
I can feel the weight of it all
Wait
These aren't my words
I'd never speak this way
I can't hear my own voice anymore
Wait
I've felt this before
The tremors you give
That rattle my bones and boil me

When you take it make sure you take it all
When you fail, make sure you remember the fall
Nothing will ever change the way you want
Until long after you're gone
I've never flown across the world
But I've still watched the sun set from the flight
I've tasted the salt the of the ocean
And missed you more each passing night
