Wake up and try
you're not listening
and neither am i
but it's only a matter of time
before we're walking out the door
sit with me on the bed
and stop pacing and pacing instead
cuz it's only a matter of when
this heart to heart will end
and oh before we go
goodbye safety brace
goodbye baby clothes
as you describe a straight line through all these rooms
i want you to put your hands on my face
run them over and over and trace
the lines that are starting to indicate
how long i've been in this place
the sun shines all day
on the curb where our valuables lay
waiting all to be taken away
like we brought them in before
stand with me in the den
that's white walls and bare carpet again
it was warm now it's empty and dead
and we won't come back again
and oh before we go
goodbye tv trays
goodbye baby clothes
as you describe a straight line through all these rooms
through birthday parties
late night laundry
baby's brides and grooms
i want you to put your hands on my face
run them over and over and trace
the lines that are starting to indicate
how long i've been in this place
the lines that are starting to indicate
how long i've been in this place
