in the blink of an eye you walked out, i did not get to say goodbye simply, swiftly as you can take the parts of me that make me who i am and we're all quick to give a pat on the back we're all lucky to live, but it's not about that it's not about what I have, it's about what I lost it's about being sad without being tossed in a river of guilt, where at least i can swim where at least i can wake up and get fucked again it's about time i can say I can't find just a sliver of silver lining today's just about the clouds just a tiny moment passed now you're gone, and I'm stunned, you went way too fast silly of me to yearn as if thinking of you will make you return and we're all quick to give a pat on the back we're all lucky to live, but it's not about that

inside your kitchen i saw my ghost trying to get me wishing i was making toast she took out my mug poured me a drink pointed at my rings still by the sink i asked her why it's here she dwells but she really could not say i said goodbye, i wished her well and I went willing on my way inside your parlor i saw my spirit playing your guitar, she wanted me to hear it she asked me to sit on chairs i own she played my records on the gramophone i asked her why it's here she dwells she said well someone had to stay i said goodbye, i wished her well and i went willing on my way and where you sleep my phantasm soul was praying to keep you safe and whole the room is small but it's changed the most she don't need you here, i told my ghost i asked her when she planned to go she said when someone sets me free i said my friend, go get your coat you are coming home with me Verse: Am C G F Chorus: F G Dm G // F G F G and would you rewind turn back time at the drop of a dime? don’t you regret the things you haven’t done yet? you were busy making your bed you wanna rip out the pages erase the errors, own up to omissions we’re running round in cages time-clipped wings that will never feel the wind the cynics and the sages they both say nothing matters in the end if all the world’s a stage won’t someone please raise that curtain again? and is your first fear how long you have left here? those pesky headlights come on strong dear are you afraid of the life you have not made? the second hand body slams you in your place *co-written with Veronica May the echo of the past, it lingers in my ear the rumble of the future, never here but ever near it's ok to look back it's ok to look on like the setting of suns and the breaking of dawns but space can make you close close can make you far the place you're missing most is right here where you are the voices of the past, they speak but don't say much the fingers of the future, reaching out without a touch it's ok to react it’s ok to stay calm like the flash of the sun on the horizon a burn in my chest, the end in my sight adding fuel to a fire I never could ignite you brought the can you spilled the gas i brought the book i struck the match we threw it down we watched the ground around us catching fire it got so hot we felt like dying we stood still til the sparks quit flying you could call it hard but you'd be preaching to the pyre smoke in my lungs, ash in my eye a billowing ache, a bellowing cry you’re in a hurry to heal but you can't move too fast this ambulance is screaming but it's running out of gas and the feeling's you feel they're hard like a cast don't try to make haste give it time, give it space this too shall pass let it pass, let it pass, let it pass, it shall pass you’re in a genesis it's your lot in life just stay on track don't ever look back don't end up like lot's wife you wanna throw a fit but you gotta show some class quit making plans cause it's out of your hands this too shall pass sadness takes over i miss this so much heartache squeezes my heart's brakes i can't take this, i've had enough crying i'm trying not to but you caught me in the act i spun this wheel far as it will feel i need anger to distract i clench my fists cause i'm fucking pissed that i died before my life was through i wonder if loving her was the last good thing i'll ever do anger takes over the past just sweats from my pores that wandering eye left me wondering why i can't take the fury anymore fuming the fire looming how it burns, the color of rust i spun this wheel far as it will feel i find photographs to settle the dust i'll calm stormy seas with good memories be grateful that our love was something true fight the urge to believe loving her was the last good thing i'll ever do and i hold my ground cause being lost and found at the same time, for me is nothing new still i wonder if loving her was the last good thing i'll ever do it can not be the last good thing that i will ever do it will not be the last good thing that i will ever do i find myself crossing a pair of my fingers could it be a wish or a lie is it oncoming peace or despair that lingers in each breath of a chest-heaving sigh the tremors that shake me after the quake break me down cause they all signify that last little shift in a continent drift the moment the end just passes you by why does the whiplash hurt more than the impact? the ache in your head makes you realize the glass cracked life flashed through your eyes, but you're alive, still if the crash doesn't get you the whiplash will the sight of your nose throws me back in my chair i only knew noses could smell jumped geronimo style from way up in the air it might have been brave, but i'm still scared as hell the parachute pull has rattled my skull i fumble for ways to propel will gravity greet the ground with my feet it usually does, but you never can tell Verse: A C#m Bm F#m E Chorus: F#m E A F#m E A the battery died, that's all but I leave it on the wall cause her hands are too beautiful to burn still I can not unwind a clock that will not tell time cause its gears refuse to move and turn and i don't know what to do with how much i miss you i don't know where to put that ache so i pray for the clock to tick tick tock and i wait, and i wait, and i wait the shock clocked me in the head made me wish i were dead no not dead, just nothing and nothing more they're trying to call the fight i'm trying to act alright but I see stars and i'm drooling on the floor and i see her in my corner thinking, God I tried to warn her i see her faith in me start to die So i crawl on my knees beg please please please let me try, i will try, let me try Verse: Cm G# D# A#
Chorus: D# G# // Cm A# G# G#m D# G# D# (A#) darling love was never the question i have more than enough and so do you darling love is the only answer when people ask us how can you tolerate hanging around this pain don't you hate when the wind blows i will wait with you and catch the rain hold out our hands and see what else can grow darling leaving is out of the question i'll do my grieving right here with you let them whisper let them have their opinion just let em talk when they ask us how can you |
