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
