Has this been the longest goodbye of your life?
Has this been the only way you survive?
As it burns each night down in a silent rage
And steals your words til you can't engage
But you know there is a morning you just can't see
Has this been the hottest year of your life?
Did you wake up and nothing had changed overnight?
Did the wind that blows away your doubts and pain
Open up the sky for seven more long days of rain?
And sweep you away even further, so you just couldn't see?
Has she been the only one on your mind?
She looks skyward as you stare out behind?
In a haze of alcohol and misgivings
Is this what she meant when she said start living?
And you know you can't be anywhere but by her side
Would you cross the city, just to hear her breathe?
Is the night that much darker when she decides to leave?
Do unfinished sentences and prevaricating eyes
Fill you with questions, until you apologize
Cuz you know you can't be anywhere but by her side
And you know you can't be anywhere but by her side
And you know you can't be anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
But by her side
