Crumpled up on the floor of the shower
Hope the neighbors aren't home
Bitter pills and a Camel for breakfast
Pour the day down the drain on my phone

It won't feel good till I hear your voice
On the north side of town
Clumsy words stumble over the phone
Glance down the hall in your hospital gown

Like the photographs hung up of tangled up bodies
On my old kitchen floor
The faces come flooding in and soak up the reasons
Why we're not that close anymore

Why I missed your wedding day, and what was I running from
Closeness or distance or trucks in Nebraska
And I just blackout, what I do to survive
Life's got two yellow lines, and I fell asleep driving

Your heart screams the words, your mouth finds their shape
I'm not gonna die here
The glass cuts your feet as you walk away
The picture gets clearer

It's a house up in flames, and you built your own cage
Just so no one could hurt you
If there's nothing to lose, there's nothing to gain
That's just something you learn through
