You did the best you could That?s all there ever is You always said I would Never quite get over this You meant it like a joke But you sounded so sure
I was afraid You always came in like a ghost Snow falling soft from your coat Lighting our lanterns with whispers and prayers I stayed up late You always
It was a stupid mistake I?ve played it over again I felt it starting to break but oh what a storm we were in Leveled us both with a crash You sped
Remember how we chased it like shadows Life was the ocean; we wanted to swim Looking back now, it?s just how the path goes They tell you it?s over; you
Your voice was soft It always is That?s why I thought I?d get through this Your fingertips Light on my face Felt like a kiss That?s my mistake CHORUS
It?s quiet in Kentucky You never ask about me I never thought about it Until now It?s cloudy out my window Just another TV show and noises in the hallway
It was a long winter for Katie and she had the worn look to show it Her roof was old and leaking, and she was tired of living below it She didn?t know
She was falling asleep with the light on, waiting With her back to the door and the whole world fading He was never no good if he'd leave her that way
It?s a dusty color gold out my window on this winter afternoon And all the voices in me make no sound I wonder where you are Tonight I?m going out for
Sing a song, commemorate it Everything you?ve lost Write how long it?s always taken Just to swim across You were always blurry-eyed You meant it how
Lay your head down dear There's no sorrow here Only time for letting go And room for landing light as snow The gentle daylight fading slow My murmur soft
Please, don?t say a word Still, don?t make a sound Gentle, I am barely here Trust comes slow for me Not my deep regret Maybe you would rather leave
It doesn?t matter anyway any more than any other day I wish it didn?t feel this way I wish it didn?t feel this way Of course you?re not the first to
I thought you were afraid When the Winter came in like a lumbering train And the snow clouds put out the stars, but you were quiet and still in the dark
I woke to what was safer late at night with the lights dim Illuminated, it?s staring me down Now I?m not any braver than I?ve ever been, and you?ve never
Figured it out, I should have figured it out by now It?s nothing but a wish; we all dream of something greater Ever a doubt, if there was ever any doubt
So we'll start slow We gotta have somewhere to go If you push, if you push It will all go to pieces So we'll start small Pretend like nothing's there
Said he?s doing just fine 95, and biding his time Empty notebooks and bottles of wine Collecting newspapers and library fines We?re talkin? thousands
