Song To Me

as you sat there with your coffee looking up
you told me your life story, how there’d never be enough
glue to put you back together or ropes to tie it in
and so softly showed the scars
how you can begin to light
all these lights alone
to wait
wishing you’d come home
take a breath
you’ll need it where you’re going
make it up as you go along
when she figures it out
she’ll be astounded to find that she
never even had a chance
she may never get around
what it’s all about
i just hope that the crash is not too loud.
when she figures it out.
and they told you that it’s cold
this far away from home
but you sold all you know for a bus ride with no phone
now you lay on your back wondering what went wrong
all the letters that you sent me, they all went into this song
to me
all your lights are off
to me
honey, you’re on top
take a breath
you’ll need it where you’re going
make it up as you go along
when she figures it out
she’ll be astounded to find that she
never even had a chance
she may never get around
what it’s all about
i just hope that the crash is not too loud.
when she figures it out.
when she figures it out.
you’ll find out someday i know
just don’t think i’ll be here to
make sure you make up your mind
you’ve only got to stop
when she figures it out
she’ll be astounded to find that she
never even had a chance
she may never get around
what it’s all about
i just hope that the crash is not too loud.
(and i hope i’m not around)
when she figures it out.
you’ve got to stop.
