Tip my glass to a new start
We'll start up the car and we'll drive off
to see
a friend I haven't kept in touch with
The house is all boarded up with no
sign
of life. I used to love
going there whenever I felt
I had to catch a
break
I hate to be the one to tell you she's moved on and locked
away
Everything that you'd remember her by
Can we step outside the box I put
myself in for her
It won't rain anymore.
The weather's so bitter
The cold
air stings my skin
But I'd brave the worst of it all
For the chance that
you'd come back and
Arm yourself with sympathy
You left me out here shaking
at my knees
With worry. The minute you pop back into the picture
I'll forget
I longed for you to come home
So, is your face beet red like bloodshed
You
never fail to take a breath
