- Track Name: When You're Gone
-
I wonder if you ever think of me.
Did you know I spent most days in the dark
just trying to stay in line?
Felt my friends all drift apart, and this
feeling of disconnection grew inside my head,
but I was too concerned with lying,
"I'm fine, yeah, I'll be okay. Yeah,
everything's fine."
I need for you to come and say,
" I can't sleep without you, I'm not the same."
If I ever let you down, could you just let it go?
'Cause to tell you the truth, I need you around.
I spent the last few months alone on the ground.
If I leave tomorrow would you follow me there?
Remember the pictures? The times on your bed?
The fields that we laid in? The years that we had?
I spent the last year traveling half the state;
lost my mind in the room that I used to hate.
Felt the cold around my head for the first time.
Realized it then and I still can't stand up straight
without feeling distant.
I'll keep telling myself that's the way it has to be.
I spent this past winter in bed. That's when my
fear of dying crawled right through my skin.
And the fall before, you just left again
leaving nothing more but an empty bed.
So, tell me where you've been.
Have you found your home?
And the pictures you painted,
do they still carry?
Nobody misses you. - Track Name: If I'm Not Talking To You, I'm Not Talking To Anyone
-
I'll wait around for you to come near;
I'll stay in your arms if that's where you need me to be.
If you could just hold on to my words,
you'll understand I need you most.
I know the last time I let go; it was out of my control.
I just want to let you know, "I'm sorry."
I'm sorry. - Track Name: In The Form Of Your Hands
-
I read through everything you wrote,
to find some sense of comfort, my place in line.
I lost my name under your thoughts,
your new friends, your new air, it was all there.
Was it worth the trouble?
Did you find your home?
Was it everything you wanted?
Was it everything you pictured in your head?
I need sleep in the form of your hands.
I was dying for a little bit before you came inside.
Remember the nights underneath your ceiling?
The seasons are calling for you to come outside again.
“It’s been cold outside for the the longest time
and I have no where to place my hands.
Would you please take them and
keep them warm again?” she said.
If you could stay through the cold days
and let me hold you for one more hour,
I'll give you a reason to stay.
You can stop running from your mistakes.
We can leave everything:
our homes and your favorite tree..
just to find some place
where we can spread our arms,
some place you can feel like you belong.
“You know that I can't stay.
I've spent too much time in this town.
If I stay any longer.. it'll get to me.
I need to breathe new air;
I need to feel new winds around my head.
The seasons are over,
and I need to be set free,” she said.
I need sleep in the form of your hands.
So just leave everything and come lay with me.
I'll take the seasons, place them on your bed.
Let's stay forever, make your home inside my head.
If you feel the cold around you,
I promise I'll do what I can, and I want to..
I'll take your hands and keep them warm again - Track Name: Closer To You
-
We spent three years in the summer air.
I grew closer to you, and you grew closer to me.
We kept track of every place that we've been
with roots tied down to every memory.
I'll remember the nights in your arms.
You were everything that kept me safe;
I keep your name in a still, small frame.
Bring me closer to you. - Track Name: You Were Asleep, You Couldn't Have Known
-
I was killing myself over constants
I forgot could change.
And after the silence,
I laid in bed with the words you said.
It was hard to sleep when all you
could think about was dying.
I need to know what's spreading
the dark inside your head.
And on the days you can't wake up,
remember what I said,
“Write your dreams down on paper
and change the world
just like you said you would.”
Honestly, I still care.
If you need anything, let me know.
I'd tear down the sky just to lift you up.
I hope you like it where you are.
I heard that you're doing fine.
I fell to the ground on the last night,
picked myself up and I still can't
breathe without your air;
These memories get the best of me.
Your face is everything I see.
I'll keep your name in a still, small frame.
You were asleep, you couldn't have known
that I gave up on everything I loved.
