Ships In A Bottle

(album: Sycamore Meadows - 2008)

Now everybody sleeps
But I haven't done that
In the last few weeks or so

And ya I know the remedy
But that ran out yesterday
And I can't refill anything

Especially my heart
Especially by brain
If I could bottle up this mess
I would do it all again

And I don't wanna know if there's another part of me
Don't wanna feel if i'm alive
Don't wanna smell the bed where you used to sleep
I'm gonna miss it again miss it again
Just wanna walk away from the ashes
And take the fact that I got burned
And baby let you know i'm still standing
If you miss it again miss it again
I'm around

And you, you live down the street
And I watched you through the windows
Draped with sheets so white
And ya he looks a lot like me
Is it a comfort or coincidence
Coincidence at everything

Especially my eyes
Especially my clothes
Does he move you inside out
Baby I don't wanna know

I don't wanna know if there's another part of me
Don't wanna feel if i'm alive
Don't wanna smell the bed where you used to sleep
I'm gonna miss it again miss it again
Just wanna walk away from the ashes
And take the fact that I got burned
And baby let you know i'm still standing
If you miss it again miss it again

All the times we fought about
You never said a word about
How we would just become the ships
Inside of a bottle
Breaking down
Sails fallin off
Tryin to stay afloat
Inside a place we can't survive
Are we breakin down

I don't wanna know if there's another part of me
Don't wanna feel if i'm alive
Don't wanna smell the bed where you used to sleep
I'm gonna miss it again miss it again
Just wanna walk away from the ashes
I can take the fact that I got burned
And baby let you know i'm still standing
If you miss it again miss it again
I'm around
