I could watch you run away
with all the things I learned to say
Head in the Ohio sky, beside you I thought I'd die
Will I build another home where all my secrets are known?
Our plants we hung them from the sky
and beside you I thought I'd die
I can act and hold my head up
but this is not what I dreamed of -
Slipping between blood and blue,
I hope you know how much I'll miss you.
Comb my hair and go to bed
next to all the books we never read
Hanging on in quiet nights
some part of this will be alright
Left with all the words unsaid
one day I'll get out of my head
You saw me whole you saw me crack,
how can I lift something like that?
I can lie and hold my head up
but you're in every word it dreams up,
painting lines in blood in blue
I hope you know how much I'll miss you.
Our plants we hung them from the sky
