=========================================
You were somewhere else when I woke up
far from together
Crack in a matching coffee cup
spilt, spelt forever
Morning thick as a winter’s coat
holding back the weather
Want a two-shot, short cut, brighter note
brand-new treasure

Light on the front porch is broken
An unpaid bill in your name
Doors to different rooms won’t open
The chair tells me to sit and wait

Ticket to the edge of the open lake
deep decompression
Can’t help but wish for another take
loss as a lesson
No way back to what began
no further direction
Wanna skim read, high-speed, understand
give me a second

Light on the front porch is broken
An unpaid bill in your name
Doors to different rooms won’t open
The chair tells me to sit and wait

You were somewhere else when I woke up
far from together
Crack in a matching coffee cup
spilt, spelt forever
