lyrics

I never told you enough, it was always you keeping me up.
Now I stare at these blank walls, while I wait for your phone call.
It’s like I’m waiting for the weather to change. I guess I’m at it again. Draft a letter to a realist when I knew you wouldn’t read it.

It says I hope you don’t mind but I’ve been wasting my precious time, wishing I got this right.

It’s another long night, I feel like staying up till it gets light.
You make this easy on me. It reminds me how hard I tried.
I sit around with my head on this desk.
Try to write myself out of this mess, and you can have what’s left.

There's a fading light on the coast and you're the only one who knows.
If you get caught up in the water I'll keep you afloat.

Dragging this up again, when I wish I could I’d sit it out. It turns out that when you’re away is when I really need you around. Sometimes this place just feels, like a memory of a town. I’ve been thinking about giving myself to the lost and found.

There's a fading light on the coast, you're the only one who knows.
If you get caught up in the water I'll keep you afloat.
The river wears me down. You’re the only one I’ve told.

Your voice always catches in the static on the phone.
With so much sky between us, no wonder we're alone.
I can hear your words as they delay.
I should try and take this day by day.
You could hardly be further from me.
I’m just bad news looking for company.
