The Sound of Breathing

Staring at my phone, wondering if I should call home
Mama always had the best advice
Though she’d say it’s in one ear and out the other half the time
Focus on the road, let my mind drift to see where it goes
It’s always running back to you and I
And how this silence gets me every time
If that’s the way it’s gotta be with us
Then be aware I’m falling apart
If that’s the way it’s gotta be with us, us, us, us
If you can’t see yourself with me, then what is left to say?
We’re falling apart
Is this the way it’s gotta be with us? Us, us, us
Staring at my phone, left a message 'cause nobody’s home
Who even has a landline anymore?
That train of thought leads me back to before
When love was not absurd, so convinced it’s what we all deserve
'Til that silent room steals every word
And now the sound of breath is all you’ve heard
If that’s the way it’s gotta be with us
Then be aware I’m falling apart
If that’s the way it’s gotta be with us, us, us, us
If you can’t see yourself with me, then what is left to say?
We’re falling apart
Is this the way it’s gotta be with us? Us, us, us
If that’s the way it’s gotta be with us
Then be aware I’m falling apart
If that’s the way it’s gotta be with us, us, us, us
If you can’t see yourself with me, then what is left to say?
We’re falling apart
Is this the way it’s gotta be with us? Us, us, us
Us, us, us
(Is this the end of)
(Is this the end of)
Us, us, us?
