about

Song 8 off Basement Confessions

lyrics

Don't you move a single muscle
Or you'll scare away the one that you love
Everyone here is meant to be here
So if you are not there then why do I care

The last time you called I was drunk at a friend's
I said I missed you, you said broken hearts mend
Go back inside and enjoy your free time
But you are not there why can't you be there

I woke up with the thought this morning
That I will embrace the ephemeral
Each second spent on you is wasted
I can't control the things you want

I said dad I can't sleep she's stuck in my dreams
She never leaves there it's the last place we share
He said son you'll be fine just give it some time
If she's meant to be there then she'll always be there

But I wonder if she looks out her window
And thinks of my laugh and the way I made her to
She knows I miss her when she wears my T-shirt
But my stomach still hurts, did I do all I could?

And she said if you're hungry then you can eat your heart out

But I want that moment to last a lifetime
It slipped through my hands and now it's gone
Thought you'd return just like the night sky
But no one ever turned out the lights

Now I know you are gone, you are gone
You are gone, you are gone
Where'd you go, come back home
Where'd you go, come back home
You are gone, you are gone
You are gone, you are gone
Come back home
