Wake up and count the days since you've been gone
I go out, 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 is 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

Always gave your best, you said
I haven't smoked in years, but I still want a cigarette, oh
all the things and all the ways 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
I 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
looking at this photograph
I don't want to get you out of my head
I wish that I could bring you back
you know 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 and catch the bus, almost miss it again
a window seat, and I watch the whole world rolling by

Sometimes when I'm thinking about us
looking at this photograph
if only I could get you out of my head
I wish that I could bring you back

I feel like my head's on fire
coming to nothing
I feel like I'm fading out
forever is nothing
oh, but one day the fire goes out
I'm staring at nothing
the smoke doesn't wake me up
forever is [??]

[?] like my head's on fire
nothing can stop you
the ideas are spilling out
a flame growing higher
oh, one day the fire goes out
and I'm staring out at nothing
the smoke doesn't make you up
my nothing forever
