lyrics

Listen to the raindrops fall
Watch the morning dew
Listen to the crickets chirp
When there's nothing left to do.

Feel the grass beneath my feet,
soil between my toes.
The cloud of smoke it rises up
as the sky washes my face.

Be in bed by 10 o'clock
be asleep by 4.
Dream about the taken from me
To hold them just once more.

I want my friend
I want to see colors again
Taste food again.
I want this to end.
I want to get out of bed,
Smile again.

So I'll pack up my happiness and peace.
I'll take what'll fit in my suitcase.
I don't care if I'll be out of place.
Saving face is not what I'm worried about.

Wander on these dirty streets,
Somehow keep them clean.
Christmas in someone's garage,
Try to keep up on caffeine.

Not your garden welcomes you,
Tree bark scrapes your knee.
The whirring of our sleepy song,
it unnerves and comforts me.

Cool nights in an empty house
Groceries go cold.
Wishing you could still be here
so we both could've grown old.

I want my friend
I want to see colors again
Taste food again.
I want this to end.
I want to get out of bed,
Smile again.

So I'll pack up my happiness and peace.
I'll take what'll fit in my suitcase.
I don't care if I'll be out of place.
Saving face is not what I'm worried about.
