Back

I guess I can't write you letters anymore.
I've been praying for months for you to walk through my door
But now time that matters still
Doesn't matter to you

I could try to stand, try to walk out this room
But my bed just keeps screaming you
And why would I want to try again?
You're the only one who knew

And the songs just keep playing
I thought I was meant to be with you

Why can't we go back?
Try to take this all way
The 10 months are all the past
And I don't know what to say
I know I want to make this last
Why can't we go back?

I woke up with those songs in my head
And I woke up without you laying in my bed
But I don't know how to apologize
And now I'm on my knees

Too bad for pride, I thought it was so true
And now I'm sitting alone, thinking about you
Replacin' ain't an option
And now I'm on my knees

You broke me down so bad
You gave me what I need

Why can't we go back?
Try to take this all way
The 10 months are all the past
And I don't know what to say
I know I want to make this last
Why can't we go back?

Can't you just say for love's sake this wasn't a mistake?
Why can't you hold my hand, take all this away?
Why can't you just please forgive me?

Why can't we go back?
Try to take this all way
The 10 months are all the past
And I don't know what to say
I know I want to make this last
Why can't we go back?

Goodbye

It's not even like we said goodbye.
It was a "see you later," kiss on the cheek, airplanes flying by
It's not like we had a fight
A move your things, pack your bags, get out of my sight.
It's a far away, long time, maybe someday, goodbye.

I wrote some words down for you.
I broke pain into tears, just hoping for your voice
I guess I'll never get to hear
The "I don't love you," maybe some closure, could make things clear.
It's a far away, long time, maybe someday, goodbye.

I don't know what anything means without your name
Engraved, on my brain, every day
I don't know how to move on or move forward or what we are
When you're so damn far away
This long distance, it's insisting, that I missed it
And I miss you, but I had to, say goodbye.
Yeah, goodbye.

I could sit on here all day
Laptop buzzing, phone just charging, hearing nothing anyways
I could keep trying to call
But it don't even ring and machine just sings, "No one's here at all,"

I could go to your mother's
But who wants to say, I don't know why, I'm so sorry, one more time?
I could go to my mom's
But she keeps asking, why'd you do it, where is he, and why say goodbye?
It's a far away, long time, maybe someday, goodbye.

I don't know what anything means without your name
Engraved, on my brain, every day
I don't know how to move on or move forward or what we are
When you're so damn far away
This long distance, it's insisting, that I missed it
And I miss you, but I had to, say goodbye.
Yeah, goodbye.

And maybe if I scream your name
And maybe if these tears come down one more time
You might actually say, you need me, you miss me
And you're coming home
To stay.

I don't know what anything means without your name
Engraved, on my brain, every day
I don't know how to move on or move forward or what we are
When you're so damn far away
This long distance, it's insisting, that I missed it
And I miss you, but I had to, say goodbye.
Yeah, goodbye.

I don't know what anything means without your name
Engraved, on my brain, every day
I don't know how to move on or move forward or what we are
When you're so damn far away
This long distance, it's insisting, that I missed it
And I miss you, but I had to, say goodbye.
Yeah, goodbye.

It's moving.

Electric lines bring you to me
So close, you're here now
And when lines fade, you don't fade away
Unbelievable, I don't know how
So I love you through the ink I send
I send the letters down into sand
A hole can't be filled, the sand is sinking now
And tonight I feel your hands

So tell the sand my broken heart
Tell the sand to send you home
I'm sick of hearing out my lonely heart
At least time is moving
At least time is moving
It's moving, days pass away

It's home, it's here, that you need to feel
It's home, where you need to be
It's home, and I need you here tonight
It's home when you're what I'm feeling
I need your hat, I need your words
I need your voice to touch me
I can't believe what I'm feeling now
It's almost like you never left here
So I fake the smile day to day
I keep myself busy
To count and pass the days away
Until you won't have to miss me
Counting, it gets old with time
But at least I know time's moving
And dirt roads pass the pain away
To a time when I wasn't lonely

So tell the sand my broken heart
Tell the sand to send you home
I'm sick of hearing out my lonely heart
At least time is moving
At least time is moving
It's moving, days pass away

It's so close to the holidays
And I wish I could let it be
Hide in my home, hide from it all
Until missing becomes knowing
I break myself down into lines
Into bottles with no ending
I pray for you to see a day
When missing becomes knowing
Counting, it gets old with time
But at least I know time's moving
And faded photographs pass the pain away
To a time when I wasn't lonely

So tell the sand my broken heart
Tell the sand to send you home
I'm sick of hearing out my lonely heart
At least time is moving
It's moving, days, they pass away
