I woke up next to your ghost. This empty house is so cold. Black carpet, purple couch. Orange skies & bloodshot eyes. I knew you were leaving. I didn't say anything. By now, you're halfway to Cleveland. I should've asked you to stay.
Well, what if I did? Would it change anything? Would you turn your car around & unpack all your things? And stay in bed with me?
I found a picture of you. The only one I still have. Hidden in a box. Brown eyes & blonde dreadlocks. I knew you were leaving. I didn't say anything. Right now, you're somewhere in Cleveland. I should've asked you to stay.
Was this the last night I'd ever spend with you? Was this the last time I'd ever see you? I should have tried, tried to change your mind. I should've held on to you. Cleveland can wait for you.
Turn your car around & unpack all your things. Turn your car around or keep driving anyway. So far away from me.

I shift my head back & look through the red glass at a world burning black. It's hard but I go on in a room smaller than this song. I know enough to realize it's not who's wrong or right. I've seen enough through my eyes. Worlds within worlds magnified.
It's almost beautiful to watch explosions of the heart. It's almost beautiful to watch the blue skies turning black. From up here I see fire.
Inside this world I feel small compared to everything I thought I'd be. Memories fade away. I lost my hold on dreams I still taste the pain. Coz I know enough to realize that I'll die alone. I've seen enough through these eyes. Worlds within worlds again.
When will the sky open up & take me home? Back to the stars, to my world. From up there I see fire.

Said and Done (Acoustic)

Sometimes I go a little crazy. I'm not always broken. I'm not always down. I don't want you to see me like this. I'm on fire when you're near. So stay away from me.
I have nothing to say to you now. I've said enough & it gets me nowhere. There is nothing left to do now. I've done enough & it gets me nowhere.
Sometimes I don't know why I try. I'm not always sober. I'm not always high. Every time I fail I try a little harder, but It pushes you away. So far away from me.
You are the light that I can't find my place in. You are the dark that I can't find my way in. In time I'll understand. I just don't know how right now.

Hold on to silence tightly & keep you waiting but the answers never come. The answers are lies. My silence shows weakness, but I will not speak. My silence pushes you away, but I will not speak.
My friends betrayed me. They were behind my back. My friends broke silence. Confessed behind my back. Things you should never know. They fucked it up for me.
I'm still claiming innocence but I have nothing to gain from this. My answers are lies. Your questions point fingers, but I will not speak. Your questions never sleep, but I will not speak.
I'll remain silent. I hope you will forgive. I can't lie my way out of this. My guilty silence gives me away. I can't lie my way out of this.

I know you're not asleep. I can feel you moving over there. You've been playing with the seams of your worn out underwear. My lips are raw as hell from biting on them just to stay awake. It's not like I'm gonna need them coz you won't be around to see them bleed & break.
All that I do comes back to you so I'll just think about you til there's nothing in my head. All I can do is try not to screw this up again & just be friends I'd rather be dead.
I drove out of Cedar Rapids with a headache the size of my car. I called to say I was okay anyway coz I know how you are. I'm like a movie without an ending. You know I've got nowhere to go. It makes me wanna throw up to see you wanna give up more than you'll ever know.
Everything's supposed to have a happy ending, but the record keeps skipping & the needle keeps bending. Like the road I'm driving to the bridge that has no end. I wanna take back everything that I've broken, but the bridges behind me are burning & smoking. I guess this is the end.
