Not losing count
This third winter has felt the cruelest
In all this time
Haven't asked you why, won't say it
I don't spill my words so easily
But I mean to be blunt when I scream
Jackie come back
Jackie come back
I bleed you every day
Even if there's nothing I could say
Come back
I haven't seen you
In a good long while
Have you cut your hair
Have you changed your style
I'll never stop reasoning
Could I have talked you into staying
Would it change a thing?
I don't spill my words so easily
But I mean to be blunt when I scream
Jackie come back
Jackie come back
I bleed you every day
Even if there's nothing I could say
Come back
What's it gonna take?
I passed a tree, she had shed herself of leaves
Falling, death lays down and rests a while
Longing lives on outstretched branches
Even colder, the next winter, but not bitter
What can I say about the life force
That kept me warm and tender
I passed that tree, hugged with leaves
And prayed for reconnection
The years will bite back at ya
On the road where you left us
I won't leave any obstacles or trenches
So you don't have to
Climb or crawl your way through (Back to me)
I don't spill my words so easily
But I mean to be blunt when I scream
Jackie come back
Jackie come back
I bleed you every day
Even if there's nothing I could say
Come back
Come back
Come back
Come back
Come back
