lyrics

You don't know how long I've waited for you
Under a sky that's royal blue
It had me thinking too much
I'm out of touch with what I thought would matter
The summer airs my crutch
I find you inside the cold
Slowly breaking down my bones

So what do you suggest I do?
Loosen the anchor, or tighten the noose
Weigh out my options I thought that you knew
I'd burden your life with a string of bad news

Maybe I should go and catch a late night train
To a city like Seattle cause I like the rain
I'm stuck in Philadelphia, thinking how I'll get to ya someday
Maybe I'd have the nerve to say
You turn the brightest skies to grey
Before you choose your words
Consider my side of the story first

So it's the end of an era
I'll turn the page and write a new chapter
Hopefully it's something worth reading
When old wounds are bleeding out
Now it's history, you got what you wanted in a part of me
It was midnight on a Monday
When you called me, said your sorry, I said

What hurt the most one little joke
Blew my whole world up in smoke
Since the day that you turned ghost
And booked a flight to the west coast
