Oh

I wake up and count the days since you've been gone
I go out and make believe you won't be gone too long
I run up and catch the bus, almost miss it again
a window seat, and I watch the whole world roll by

It only takes a moment for the show to begin
big dog's walking the man, got a big bag to fill
Cha Cha's on the corner drinking her gin
not a worry in the world until she gets to the end

[???], hopeful to dig, you said
I haven't smoked in years, but I still want a cigarette, oh
all the days and all the things we did
a park bench by the lake the first time we got lit

It only takes a moment for the show to begin
open up the curtains, and the two of us fell in
woke up at the bus stop to let more people in
I wish that I could go back to that again, yeah

Sometimes when I think about us
just looking at this photograph
but I don't want to get you out of my head
I wish that I could bring you back
oh, I want you back

I wake up and count the days since you've been gone
I hope out and make believe you won't be gone too long
run up and catch the bus, almost miss it again
a window seat, and I watch the whole world rolling by

But sometime when I'm thinking about us
I'm looking through these photographs
if only I could bring you out of my head
I wish that I could bring you back

I feel like my head's on fire
and nothing can stop me
oh, the ideas just slipping out
then I'm knocking out over the sea, yeah
one day your fire goes out
you're staring at nothing
the smoke doesn't wake me up
forever is nothing

I feel like my head's on fire
and nothing can stop me
only they're spilling out
I'm looking for something
but one day the fire goes down
I'm staring at nothing
the smoke doesn't wake me up
forever is nothing
