Woke up and for the first time, the animals were gone.
It's left this house empty now, not sure if i belong.
Yesterday you asked me, to write you a pleasant song.
I do my best now, but you've been gone for so long.
The window is open now, and the winter settles in.
We'll call it Christmas, when the adverts begin.
I love your depression, and i love your double chin.
I love most everything, what you bring to this offering.
Oh i know that i left you, in places of despair.
Oh i know that i love you, so please throw down your hair.
At night i trip without you, and hope i don't wake up.
Because waking up without you, is like drinking from an empty cup.
Woke up and for the first time, the animals were gone.
Our clocks are ticking now, so before our time is gone.
We can get a house, and some boxes on the lawn.
We can make babys and accidental songs.
And i've been a liar, and i know i've been a fool.
I hope we didn't brak it, but i'm glad we broke the rules.
My cave is deep now, that your light is shining through.
I cover my eyes, still all i see is you.
Oh i know that i left you, in places of despair.
Oh i know that i love you, so please throw down your hair.
At night i trip without you, and hope i don't wake up.
Because waking up without you, is like drinking from an empty cup.
