lyrics

i was after the view of you in the morning
asleep on my shoulder your breath on my neck
now its after the view and its you im mourning
with my ears still ringing with the words you left

baby please believe me i dont want you to need me
and i hope its not too late for that
i know its much harder to be left than to leave
so do your best not to get too attached

i felt a little reckless after half a night of trying to forget this
and i made the mistake of leaving you a message
but i just felt childish and pointless like one half of a heart necklace
or a picture of a painting
or a rhyme with no meaning
i'm always close but just a little bit behind
you were probably right when you said i was acting like a child

does your new pose give you a new peace of mind?
have you found your circle or just your place in line?
have you changed or just adapted to a new place?
do you feel any better or still just complain?

as much as i love a life spent on the road,
i miss all my friends and i want to go home
i had no idea how hard it could be living alone
i miss all my friends and i want to go home

my life has become a circle
love with intention and love accidental
two times the time you and i spent together
is half the time it took for me to feel any better
