lyrics

Counting the leaves on the trees just to feel less alone while the sun holds its breath
Watching the porch lights come on just to feel more at home while the sky goes to bed
Looking through old photographs just to feel less alone

Picking at hairs on the sheets just to feel more at home while the clock takes a rest
Listening to laughs in the street just to feel less alone while the pavement welcomes its guests
Hanging your clothes next to mine just to feel more at home
Reading your letters aloud just to feel less alone

All alone, endlessly checking the phone
Get up one day and...

I talk to myself in my sleep just to feel less alone while the shadows collide
I find myself wearing a mask just to feel more at home while my real face hangs down by my side
Call out to ghosts from the past just to feel less alone
Send myself out with the trash just to feel more at home

All alone, endlessly checking the phone
All alone, I sing while my heart turns to stone
Get up one day and... gone. You’re gone.
