Lyrics

[00:14.38] I just drove under the Lincoln sign
[00:17.84] To where New Jersey meets the New York line
[00:20.97] And through the tunnel for the last time
[00:24.29] With everything crumbling behind
[00:28.13] I stood still until I felt the shakes
[00:31.56] Of two bodies that were parting ways
[00:35.09] I didn't want to be the one to say
[00:38.27] I know this hurts but it's time to break
[00:41.89] In two pieces
[00:46.00] The boat line's not secure
[00:48.86] I'll burn a bridge if needed
[00:52.51] To get back to her
[00:55.31] I feel like I'm paralyzed
[01:01.52] When I look at
[01:03.51] The absent space left in my bed
[01:06.46] And think about all the things we did
[01:09.81] At least I'm feeling more alive
[01:14.83] But I still have some of my pain I've got to shed
[01:20.23] Before I find happiness
[01:25.06]
[01:36.00] I make moats out of memories
[01:40.05] And I plant pain Instead of sturdy trees
[01:43.16] I have got to wash these old sheets
[01:46.55] So I can fall asleep
[01:50.13] There are times, there are times I reach for the phone
[01:54.15] To tell you that there might still be some hope
[01:57.37] Holding on, holding on to this slack of rope
[02:00.93] But that's the whiskey talking so
[02:03.92] I hope that you can find some peace in life
[02:10.87] Can you survive without me?
[02:14.60] Cause I thought I'd be fine
[02:17.20] Now I'm slurring every single line
[02:21.34] I feel like I'm paralyzed
[02:26.79] When I look at
[02:29.00] The absent space left in my bed
[02:32.22] And think about all the things we did
[02:35.67] At least I'm feeling more alive
[02:39.70] But I still have some of my pain I've got to shed
[02:46.81]
[02:48.00] I've got to move on before I can find happiness
[02:54.46] This isn't fair nobody taught me (how to let go)
[03:02.10] Just be here now and don't be set free (From sorrow)
[03:07.01] But at this time I don't see clearly (how will I know)
[03:13.69] What is the point, what is the meaning (how to let go)
[03:19.88] Now is our goodbye
[03:23.10] A blackout so I can dream
[03:26.41] But I still see you sneaking through my weary head
[03:33.20] I suffer from a drought of medicine to dull self-doubt
[03:40.11] I just want to drown you out
[03:43.60] With southern poison
[03:47.26] If I had a drink
[03:50.60] For every goddamn I think
[03:53.93] About your pale skin dressed in pink
[03:57.20] Then at least I could sleep
[04:01.80] If I had a shot
[04:04.21] For every goddamn time I thought
[04:07.50] About your face and what I'd lost
[04:10.91] At least I'd get some sleep, sleep, sleep
[04:24.44] At least I'd get some sleep, sleep, sleep
[04:38.10] Then at least I'd get some sleep
[04:45.43]
