well, we sat and waited on the hillside for the feeling to come back. and it took me a long time, but i realize now that every night when the sun goes down, and my mind stops spinning, there's a peace that's hidden in the moment softly singing songs so sweet inside my head that bring me closer to home than i have ever been. and on tuesday i thought i'd found it: a new beginning with drink in hand. but in the midst of a crowded room i felt more alone than i have ever been now, breeze whispers through leaves and grassblades clouds cut through halos of city light and i know that i will be alright. because there's a peace that's hidden in the moment softly singing songs so sweet inside my head that bring me closer to home than i have ever been and ever will be again.

i'm taking back whatever i said. you drank my wine and took the good side of my bed. you tore my favorite t-shirt, and left the dog outside unfed so i'm taking back whatever i said. the leaves fall down the sky bleeds red over the home we tried to build but wrecked instead. the trust i gave you is as worthless as a needle without thread so i'm taking back whatever i said.

my home 03:59
my home sits at the bottom of a hill that's ten plus years and two thousand miles away, and i have been removed for so long that i couldn't find its place in reality. and my best friend is the concept of an idea of a person that i once met in a dream, and my waking life is only a mirror image of what i see when i'm asleep, so i'm just not sure anymore what is or isn't real to me. but me and you sat beneath the same moon on christmas eve and i didn't say a thing. but maybe i'll wake when the day breaks its curse on this night with a beam of sunlight. because my waking life is only a mirror image of what i see when i'm asleep, so i'm just not sure what is or isn't real to me. and i left you in carolina, all blue and wrapped up in my schemes without a clue as to what it all could mean. oh, please let this be a dream.
5.
when i leave home again, there will be plenty of letters to send and calls to make. behind the words that lie therein will be plenty of truth to bend and sentiment to fake. and since reality cuts sharp, i'm sure that you'll prefer this to the numbness in my heart. make sure my dog gets fed and don't forget to walk him at least once every day. and if you happen across my promises, in the upper right-hand corner please pen in the current date. because reality cuts sharp and i'm sure that you'll prefer this to the numbness in my heart, so turn your thoughts back to our start and convince yourself it's working -- that that's still where we are.
