I can't focus on these pages that I'm reading
Couldn't tell you if you asked me what they're meaning
I'm distracted trying to circumvent the truth
Distracted trying to keep my mind off you
Turn the news on let's find out about the president
No one knows quite what to think or what to do
We're suspended in the air, suspended in time
Hanging by a thread to weave our lives
Waiting on a verdict to decide
And you can tell me 'bout the war, you can tell me 'bout the bombs
But you just can't seem to tell me what you want
You can check my every fact, run it forward run it back
I'm honest, even if I'm wrong
Drive an hour just so I can see you, just to hear you voice without all the noise
And I'm biting my nails, 'cause I know what you'll say
But maybe this time, it'll set me free
When the August sun set low in the sky, the nights became long
November brought hope and December brought pain
In the New Year, not a resolution made
And you can put up your walls, say that I am the cause
Of your heartache, if that's what you need
You say "are you afraid?", I say "what's there to fear?"
I'm right where I'm supposed to be
Flowers wilted, sky in every shade but blue
Nothing matters anymore, what's there to do?
Forget the day of week, just pray I'll see it through
And in my mind you'll be there lying next to me
If not now, then in a while, or in my dreams
Wouldn't it be easier up there?
Where nobody and nothing every where?
And you can tell me that you miss me, tell me that you want me
But I just want you close to me at night
You can tell me that you're sorry, tell me that you love me
But words don't change the truth, I'm getting tired
