lyrics

The sky, at best, is a speckled mess
of blue and black and birds headed west
and I can't help but watch them fly
out of my sight.
It's funny how intentions can change
from confidence to cowardice in the course of a day
but we all have our own ways of dealing with escape.
Cry yourself to sleep without waking your roommates.

We hold hands like kids hold cigarettes:
clumsy, unbecoming, preemptive regret.
I want you to miss me as much as I miss you.
These promises I made to the walls of my room--
I broke them all in two.

The air turns cold and warm and cold again,
don't you know that nothing is constant?
Everyone in power here will someday fall,
everything in motion here will someday stall.
Don't walk away from me when I'm trying to talk.
You say you have my number but you never call.
Don't you know that nothing is constant?
Don't you know that everything good ends?

I'm not waiting here forever,
that much is clear.
I've had one foot out of the door for going on
twenty-something years.
Only so many people I love can up and go
before this little town feels less like home.
The growing distance between friends,
the fears that we're becoming our parents.
The chemical imbalance in your head
can't be blamed for all the things you never said.
The doctors told you you had nine years left
if you let it all go unchecked.
Well guess what?
It's been ten years since you said,
you said you've never see him again.

The air turns cold and warm and cold again,
don't you know that nothing is constant?
Everyone in power here will someday fall,
everything in motion here will someday stall.
Don't walk away from me when I'm trying to talk.
You say you have my number but you never call.
Don't you know that nothing is constant?
Don't you know that everything good ends?
