she was gone
she was gone
she was right
& I am wrong
for wanting to place myself
on an ice cold surface
without testing the waters first

I'm not home
I'm not home
so please don't
leave a message
just to prove to me that
things would never be
different anyway

should have listened
should have listened
to signs that said
she was indeed the one
forget the cause
it might be better, yeah
who knows

I sense it
I sense it
the autumn wind
& how I'd never speak
through it anyhow
'cause I'd just soak it in
for all the wrong reasons

here it was
here it was
the thought that
I'd risen above
& made myself into
something you could
hold but not hold up
