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 rolling by

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

Always did your best, you said
I haven't smoked in years, but I still want a cigarette
all the days, and all the things we did
park bench by the lake, the first time we got lit

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

Sometimes when I'm thinking about us
just looking at these photographs
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 go out and make believe you won't be gone too long
I run up, I catch the bus, almost miss it again
a window seat, and I watch the whole world going by

Sometimes when I think about us
looking at this photograph
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 it
yeah, these flames are growing higher
and I might be nothing
no, one day the fire goes out
the smoke doesn't wake me, yeah
but forever is nothing now
I'm just looking for something

Light like your head's on fire
and nothing can stop yeah
the ideas are spilling out
like a fire growing higher
oh, but one day the lights go out
I'm staring at nothing
the smoke doesn't wake me up
and nothing's forever
