lyrics

Should I light another candle
For the souls you left behind,
For the promises you buried next to hers?
I could fill a dozen pages
With this numbing disbelief
With the many words I’ll never get to say.

All the pieces on the floor will drift away
If you don’t find your own way back home.
All the names across your back will fade to grey
If you don’t find your own way back home.

Should I save a seat next to mine
Just in case you change your mind,
Just in case you take it all back once again?
I could leave the light on all night
If it made you come around,
If it made you reminisce for old times’ sake.

All the pieces on the floor will drift away
If you don’t find your own way back home.
All the names across your back will fade to grey
If you don’t find your own way back home.

I can’t burry my head in the sand
Not ‘til love has made you blind
So if I saved you from yourself would you forgive me?
How bad are you aching to give in
To someone who could fill the room
I know it feels like you’ve been waiting for a century

And maybe she’s the antidote
To the silence you despise
But all the white noise in the world
Shouldn’t bend you at the knees.
