I don’t sleep much anymore
I just lay awake with my eyes on the door
Waiting for some sort of sign
The rejuvenation of my tired mind
I know that door swings both ways
I know 'cause I haven’t seen you for days
I held you like my tongue for far too long
I could leave this place but I don’t
I could call your name but I won’t
It’s times like this I make a change
Get a tattoo or decide to be vain
Or maybe I’ll just run away
Pick a new name and head south, hopping trains
I know that door swings both ways
I know 'cause I haven’t seen you for days
I held you like my tongue for far too long
I could leave this place but I don’t
I could call your name but I won’t
I’d rather just stay on my own
I’d rather be numb drunk and stoned
Than worried, I’ll wind up alone
Or whether or not you’ll come home
I held you like my tongue for far too long
I could leave this place but I don’t
I could call your name but I won’t
'Cause you’re gone
