lyrics

Seems like no time at all since you were away
The same old rumors start to fly
Like sparks of a fire I can’t contain
Honey if I tried

And he’s picking up the pieces and he’s moving them around
And he’s counting all the ways she holds him down
Seems it’s always a struggle to take flight
When the lows are so much lower than the highs are high

I see you nursing that glass like it’s gonna be your last
No guarantee
That your dreams are made of something stiffer than paper
That won’t blow away in the breeze

And he’s picking up the bottle and he’s putting it back down
And he’s counting down the days again 'til he leaves town
Seems we’ll swallow everything but our pride
It’s gonna take something stronger to get me through the night

There are some shoes you can’t fill
And shouldn’t try to
But I know that you will

And he’s picking up bad habits and he’s putting them back down
And he’s counting down the stroke of midnight
Seems we always leave something behind
And if I didn’t see that coming then I must be blind

Nothing can ever kill that hunger
I wish you’d hold me like you did when we were younger
