Leaving Home

(album: Vacation - 2011)

Stay awake, each life's like a blink of the eye
Breathe in, I feel the weight as the words, they tumble down

Brace yourself, your life's about to change
How, you don't even know
But change is hard to deal with
When all I feel is how I miss you now

As you sit there, crying on the phone

It's funny how a goodbye is the only way to really say, 'I love you'
And love that's shared is love that's spared from every inch of soil between us now

Places, a time, when I don't know how

Oh, the simplicity, to piece together all I've been shown
But I don't know how it feels, to have every piece of me crying to go home
Oh, the fear when I wake, and the pleasure of falling asleep next to you
And the weight of the crime, when we know that we do not know what to do

As you sit there, crying on the phone
As you sit there, wishing yourself home
