I hear the clock, it's six am
I feel so far from where I've been
I've got my eggs and got my pancakes too
got my maple syrup, everything but you
I break the yolks and make a smiley face
I kinda like it in my brand new place
I wipe the spots off of the mirror
don't leave the keys in the door
I never put wet towels on the floor anymore
CHORUS 'cos dreams last so long
even after you're gone
I know that you love me and soon you will see
you were meant for me
and I was meant for you
Called my momma she was out for a walk
consoled a cup of coffee
but it didn't wanna talk
picked up the paper it was more bad news
more heart being broken and people being used
put on my coat in the pouring rain
I saw a movie it just wasn't the same 'cause
it was happy and
I was sad
and it made me miss you oh so bad
CHORUS
BRIDGE I go 'bout my business, I'm doing fine
besides what would I say if I had you on the line
same old story, not much to say
hearts get broken every day
brush my teeth and put the cap back on
I know you hate it when I leave the light on
I pick a book up and turn the sheets down
take a deep breath and a good look around
put on my pj's and hop into bed
I'm half alive but I fell mostly dead
I try and tell myself that it'll all be alright
I just shouldn't think anymore tonight
CHORUS
Jewel Kilcher and Steve Poltz
