Intro: G Cadd9(4x)
I guess it's where we have to let it end
It seems our best intentions came up shorting us again
Can you see the sunset from your highway
And can you leave those plans for us behind?
Cause broken hearts they mend
To fall in love again
You won't see me breaking
When I leave your key there on the nightstand
Lock the door so I can't walk in
And make sense of this
When there's no sense to this
When I break a window and cut my hand
Shattered glass, I'll climb back in
Lose my head again
And wonder where it ever went
This is where we found ourselves again
The same old resolution loses meaning once again
And can you see the sunset in New Jersey?
And can you leave that place we knew behind?
Cause love it tries to bend
The breaking point within
You won't catch me waiting
When I leave your key there on the nightstand
Lock the door so I can't walk in
And make sense of this
When there's no sense to this
When I break a window and cut my hand
Shattered glass, I'll climb back in
Lose my head again
And wonder where it ever went
Wonder where you went
There's times I can't pretend
That I felt home again
So I keep waiting
When I leave your key there on the nightstand
Lock the door so I can't walk in
And make sense of this
When there's no sense to this
When I break a window and cut my hand
Shattered glass, I'll climb back in
Lose my head again
And wonder where it ever went
Wonder where we went
Wonder where we went
When I leave your key there on the nightstand (Wonder where we went)
And lock the door so I can't walk in
And make sense of this (Wonder where we went)
Cause there's no sense to this
