lyrics

Summer of 2010 you left home with the bag I bought you
you left me here filling voids for your deep blue eyes
and I wish that I could pretend that you're safe where you are
you're not safe where you are...

You spent your nights out in the bay
I spent my nights just missin' you
and now that you have gone away
you're doing things that you never do
Sat outside and watched the moon, the same one that was shining on you
it's too bad you aren't here to see how much I need you

You said that you "passed out"
When you "got lost"
When you called me "drunk"
...Maybe this is what I have to deal with
You said that I "can't stay in your heart and on your mind"
You left me for New Jersey

So I'll sit outside on my own
'cause one-thousand miles of pavement led you far from home
and I understood what you said but I didn't get when you left
so I'll try and move on..and I'll ignore your calls...
