Faces

(album: Only Ticket Home - 2018)

Waking up late back in our youth
A picture in my pocket of a rose tattoo
Stood in the cold 'til our lips turned blue
Every little thought I thought was you
Do you ever think about way back when?
Never getting worried about where we've been
All over Knoxville living in sin
When every little heart string played pretend

Oh, I didn't mean to let you go
Move to fast, when we're falling slow
I didn't mean to let you go

How many times do you have to lose
How many times 'til it gets to you
I close my eyes all I see is you
How many times can a heart get bruised
It's an end to you, just empty space that I never use
How many faces will I lie next to
How many times 'til I get to you

If we give again and press restart
Drinking it straight in a burnt out car
Wondering if there's life on Mars
Now I'm only wondering where you are
Feels like running down a one way street
Where all those faces meant nothing to me
All the stars that were left unseen
Now you're somewhere else not next to me

Oh, I didn't mean to let you go

How many times do you have to lose
How many times 'til it gets to you
I close my eyes all I see is you
How many times can a heart get bruised
It's an end to you, just empty space that I never use
How many faces will I lie next to
How many times 'til I get to you

Oh, I didn't mean to let you go
Move to fast, when we're falling slow
I didn't mean to let you go

How many times do you have to lose
How many times 'til it gets to you
I close my eyes all I see is you
How many times can a heart get bruised
It's an end to you, just empty space that I never use
How many faces will I lie next to
How many times 'til I get to you

Oh, oh
It's an end to you, just empty space that I never use
How many faces will I lie next to
How many times 'til I get to you
