Don't Leave Me Empty
04:58
|

The sun came through my window
Revealing dust throughout the room
And the old house is talking to me of
How it longs to be a home
Under these sheets seems warmer
Until I step out into the light
I see a breeze through the fields and the tree tops
A forgotten world lays just outside
Don't leave me empty
I let the wood bow under my weight
She's taken care of me through all these years
And I've been thinking maybe it's time I give something back
Or atleast control all of my fears
Summer knocks on my front door and
Anxiety eats my knees
The house takes a deep breath as a
Sigh of relief
All I ever wanted was a place to call our own
But it's clear to me that I'm better off alone
Don't leave me empty
The moment I made my mind up, but many years too late
I wouldn't let go of my best friend and say goodbye to
Everything
I poured gasoline through the living room, threw a match at the front door
And I sat on the fields as the flames release me
From my binds to release my soul
Don't leave me empty
Smoke up, smoke up, smoke up
Light up, light up, light up

I can't get to sleep tonight
My mind is racing
I keep my eyes closed so tight
My heart is pacing
And I wont sleep
Until you've left my head
No, i wont sleep
Inside this guilt filled bed
So, Greetings Insomnia
Where have you been
All my life
Cos I've deserverd this for
Quite sometime
I lay here alone tonight
I can't deny it
Insomnia on it's way
I feel it creeping
I won't sleep
for what will feel like days
No, I wont sleep
My life is a constant haze
So, Greetings Insomnia
Where have you been
All my life
Cos I've deserverd this for
Quite sometime
Theres a truth that I've
Set out to find
With nothing but my
Conscience beside me
And theres emptiness
Inside my head
Except for one little thing
Insomnia, hello dear friend
I can't seem to think tonight
My eyes are heavy
And all of my weary thoughts
Don't keep me steady
I won't sleep
Until my dreams are fed
I won't sleep
Until i'm left for dead
So, Greetings Insomnia
Where have you been
All my life
Cos I've deserverd this for
Quite sometime
Theres a truth that I've
Set out to find
With nothing but my
Conscience beside me
And theres emptiness
Inside my head
Except for one little thing
Insomnia, hello dear friend
So, Greetings Insomnia
Where have you been
All my life
Cos I've deserverd this for
Quite sometime

Let's run away from this place
Tell your mother, you'll be safe
Just don't look back, just come with me
I've got a stomach full of wine
We'll be dancing all the time
Just don't look back, just come with me
Open fire, open arms
Open freeways, open cars
Just don't look back, just come with me
Stars will light the sky
One day you will be my wife
Just don't look back, just come with me
Just while we're still young
We'll build our house on our land
Make it out of sticks and sand
Just hold my hand, just walk with me
By the ocean, by a tree
Away from city life, come with me
Just hold my hand, just walk with me
Away from life, away from lights
Holding on all through the night
Just hold my hand, just walk with me
I've never felt this before
I'm so excited for what's in store
Just hold my hand, just walk with me
Just while we're still young
You know me and I know you
Things will never be the same, Things will never be the same
You know me and I know you too
Things would never be the same without you so
Take my name
My car is breaking down
You're all I think of now
But this is all I need
As long as you're here with me
You know me and I know you
Things will never be the same, Things will never be the same
You know me and I know you too
Things would never be the same without you so
Take my name

In this life of mine
I'm more than lucky
Nothing gets me down
With my friends beside me
But theres one thing on my mind
That I know i'm missing
The way we were together
Is slowly fading and
I, I can't
Be alone in this part of my life
I need, someone
To share all my memories with so
Dear Sally, it's a long time coming
I've finally thought of what I
Want to say
This letter wont
Write itself
So here's to us, I hope it
Gets much better cos I
Can't continue on like
This for days
So please come back to me
I'm not better off this way
So as I'm walking down
This path you've put me on
I stop and take a breath
Of my familiar surroundings and
Oh, stop, turn around
I'll never fall down to the ground cos
Nothing gets me higher than the
Thought of you
You're all that I'd ever choose
I, I can't
Be alone in this part of my life
I need, someone
To share all my memories with so that's why
Dear Sally, it's a long time coming
I've finally thought of what I
Want to say
This letter wont
Write itself
So here's to us, I hope it
Gets much better cos I
Can't continue on like
This for days
So please come back to me
I'm not better off this way
Don't you run away, Dear Sally
You know, I'm not even half the man
I was when you were by my side
So come back to me, Dear Sally
I swear I'll do my best to show you
I can make everything alright
Dear Sally, it's a long time coming
I've finally thought of what I
Want to say
This letter wont
Write itself
So here's to us, I hope it
Gets much better cos I
Can't continue on like
This for days
So please come back to me
Dear Sally, it's a long time coming
I've finally found the words I
Want to say
This letter wont
Write itself
So here's to us, I hope it
Gets much better cos I
Can't continue on like
This for days
So please come back to me
I'm much better off that way

Decide To Go

Dry mouth, red eyes and
These things in my head
All I have is your lipstick on my pillow
And your hair lackey on my wrist
Will you be there when I wake up?
Will you be there when I wake up tomorrow?
This is the first time that you've slept
First time that you've slept here with me
What will I tell my brother?
What will I tell my mother?
When you decide to go
Decide to go
You got a pen, and you drew on my hand
A picture of us
You drew our house, you drew our family and I
Just drew our dog
And I said, "Who's next to this one?"
"Who's next to this one?"
It's just me and my guitar and our daughter
"Who's next to this one?"
"Who's next to this one?"
What will I tell my brother?
What will I tell my mother?
When you decide to go
Decide to go
You're wearing the same thing that you wore
When we first met
I wear the same thing, everyday
Anyway
And we sang "ba ba dada da da da"
"La da dada da da da"
And we sang "ba ba dada da ah da"
"La da dada da ah da"
And I know
Just who you are
Because I spent everyday with you so far
And I know
Just who you are
Just who you are
Decide to go
What will I tell my brother?
What will I tell my mother?
When you decide to go

And I messed up bad this time
Just like the times before
I made mistakes but hey
I've gotta live with mine
Yeah, I've gotta live with mine
And I know that it's hard on the both of us
But they never said it would be easy
I'm sorry for all, I'm sorry for all
If you're there just call and I'll be there
If you're alone, just call but don't let him in
Because I know better, I know better than he does
Thinking back to the first time
I saw your eyes
The brown to match your beautiful long hair and
Everything was perfect
It seemed so perfect
Took a chance, I made a love to be the best thing that could've happened
In these fragile years, these fragile years
Sickness was never an issue staying out
In the cold of my backyard
If you're there just call and I'll be there
If you're alone, just call but don't let him in
Because I know better, I know better than he does
If you're there just call and I'll be there
If you're alone, just call but don't let him in
Because I know better, I'm no better

Well if I could find the words to use, to let you know exactly how you make me feel
Then I'd spend the rest of my days, with letters delivered straight to your door, signed and sealed
So we'll snap and we'll chat till
The sky goes black to blue
And I'll stay up all night, just to talk to you
Because you
You're the only one who knows
How this melody will go
Cos I've sung it to you a tonne of times and plan to so much more
Feel free to sing along and memorise these notes cos
One day we'll be on our porch and well sing it evermore
4 months go by and things pick up
A thing I had been dreaming of for nights on end
And this smiles been going since July
Continues to grow as time goes by as memories they pile up one by one
And I won't be scared to walk without a light
Cos with your smile, everything shines bright
Because you
You're the only one who knows
How this melody will go
Cos I've sung it to you a tonne of times and plan to so much more
Feel free to sing along and memorise these notes cos
One day we'll be on our porch and well sing it evermore
You don't know how lost I was
Till you came and took that first step in my mind
You were wandering there for days on end and pushed and shoved your way down to my heart
Because you
You made me write this melody
With all the precious things
You've done for me
Because you
You're the only one who knows
How this melody will go
Cos I've sung it to you a tonne of times and plan to so much more
Feel free to sing along and memorise these notes cos
One day we'll be on our porch and well sing it evermore

You wrote a book about a mystery
That happened some time ago. Last century
Pen to paper never made much sense to me
I always found out others ways to find my identity
You always had so much time in hospital beds
While machines clean your blood
And chemicals, they weigh up your body
I'll write your name in my skin with all your favourite
Notes and goals
You said you find all so often that most of the time you were wrong
And always felt somehow you'd fail us if you let us know what was wrong
You kept a smile on your face till the day you let go
You didn't fool my sister and I
Now that was ten years ago
While machines clean your blood
And chemicals, they weigh up your body
I'll write your name in my skin with all your favourite
Notes and goals
