Eraser

(album: Heart Beats Pacific - 2011)

We used to walk there all the time. Up by the railway line
I try to go there but it's hard. End up in my backyard

I'm here alone with this guitar, the paint is peeling off and I can see every scar
Got half a song I wrote for you and I got half a bottle left to get me through
Been waking up in daydreams
Waking up to the fact that I'm still here and I know you won't be
I'm heading for another lonely year
Most nights you'll find me underneath an empty Midwest sky
Half drunk and fading where I'm drinking with your ghost and I'm watching planes go by

And nothing changes but the time. Get stuck on the same few lines
I could just write how it went, but that's now this one ends

I'm here alone with this guitar, the paint is peeling off and I can see every scar
Got half a song I wrote for you and I got half a bottle left to get me through
Been waking up in daydreams
Waking up to the fact that I'm still here and I know you won't be
I'm heading for another lonely year
Most nights you'll find me underneath an empty Midwest sky
Half drunk and fading where I'm drinking with your ghost and I'm watching planes go by

And (I'm) finding out I don't do very well alone
But I know that you're not coming home...
