Staring at the Dark

I’m sitting in my bedroom
staring at the dark 
The dog woke me up again
five a.m. sharp 
So I dug out a pencil
to write you some words 
while I waited
for the sun to come 

You’re on my mind again you always are 
I can’t seem to scrape your face off of my heart 
I told you I loved you when we were just friends 
But I’m not gonna do that again 

And I should open some windows 
and let in some air 
But I can’t wake up yet 
And I should welcome this day 
with a flourish and flare 
But I don’t 

 ‘Cause it’s you, you, you 
always you 
And it’s me 
Just me 

It’s been all these years since you first touched my hand 
Your fingerprints stayed on me they’re part of my skin 
The curl in your mouth  and the shake in your voice 
And it’s yesterday 

What can I tell you 
to make it all clear? 
I’ve got nothing to say to you 
I just want you here 
So get on the plane 
and come walk through my door 
That’s why I gave you the key

And I hear smarter voices 
talk sense in my head 
But I tell them no 
And I reach for your arms 
when I turn in my bed 
Because I can’t let go 

And it’s you, you, you 
always you 
And it’s me 
Just me 

So I put down my pencil there aren’t any words 
And if you could say anything you’d say it to your girl 
And you’d leave me here lonely 
but you’re not to blame 
For what I just won’t say 

And it’s you, you, you, 
always you 
And it’s me… 

Sitting in my bedroom five-thirty a.m. 
The dog’s gone to sleep but I’m still where I am 
Facing the day with this half-broken heart 
 ‘Cause I’ve been staring… 

Staring at the dark 
Staring at the dark 
Staring at the dark 
Staring at the dark 
  
I’m just staring at the dark 
I’m just staring at the dark 
I’m staring at the dark 
Staring at the dark 
I’m just staring at the dark
