First Kids Names

Oval Opus


I woke up today taking up the whole bed 
and I finally felt good about it 
I took a cold long walk across the bathroom tile,
looked myself straight in the mirror 
I saw one toothbrush and the toilet seat up
and I stop to think about it 
Hadn't notice you're gone, 
has it been this long?

Now I'm crashing through the silence 
of all the things I thought I'd miss

Do you listen to the CD that we fought about all night long? 
Do you ever think you see me in the people passing by? 
After all the dreams 
and the first kids names 
there's no one to blame 
but I'm still here without you
and do you feel the same when I tell you that I'm feeling alright?

I went out tonight, saw a couple old friends 
and they never said a word about you 
I took my same old seat at my favorite bar 
looked myself straight in the mirror 
I forgot to shave, I wore the shirt you hate
color fading since I've been without it 
hadn't noticed you're gone 
has it been this long?

Now I'm crashing through the silence 
of all the things I thought I'd miss

Do you turn on the TV at the same time every night?
Do you think you ever think you see me in the actor that I look like?
After all the dreams 
and the first kids names 
there's no one to blame 
but I'm still here without you

you'll be there
I'll be here 
taking it a day at a time
I'm everyday at a time

After all the dreams 
and the first kids names 
there's no one to blame 
but I'm still here without you
and do you feel the same when I tell you that I'm feeling alright?
