you don't want to waste what's left of your life
trying to stay alive, for just a little while
you know you should come back home from there,
and get some peace and quiet, just for a little while
when you were gone your house became my home
it felt like my own, if for a little while
and i'm sorry if it's changed from when you left
if we made a mess, if we carved our debts
in the kitchen tile
