There’s a pile on the floor
of the things you dropped as you ran out the door
With a suitcase and guitar
you left a dustcloud over skidmarks from your car
Now I spend these hours alone
counting down the seconds till you’ll be home
There’s a letter on the desk
explaining how you’re tired and you’re stressed
If I read between the lines
just to conjure up imaginary signs
Of how we spend our lives apart
every time you go it fractures my heart
There’s not much left over
at the end of the day
With the world on your shoulder
There’s nothing you can say
Its 4 in the morning
and I’m watching you sleep
If I send out a warning
would you save something for me?
There’s an emptiness inside
a vacancy that you once occupied
I hear an echo in my head
the distant sound of everything you said
Now I’m trying to understand
chasing memories back to where we began
There’s not much left over
at the end of the day
With the world on your shoulder
you give it all away
Its hard to assemble
the scraps of your time
Deep down I tremble
while you’re leaving me behind
We sail on together
like a ship in a storm
We can brave any weather
there’s a whole lotta life left to explore
so much more…
