[00:43.08]I don't know if it was real or in a dream
[00:50.52]Lately waking up i'm not sure where i've been
[00:57.81]There was a table set for six and five were there
[01:05.04]I stood outside and kept my eyes upon that empty chair
[01:12.36]And there was steam on the windows from the kitchen
[01:20.61]Laughter like a language i once spoke with ease
[01:27.03]But i'm made mute by the virtue of decision
[01:34.53]And i choose most of your life goes on without me
[01:45.09]Oh the fear i've known
[01:46.50]That i might reap the praise of strangers
[01:59.64]And end up on my own
[02:00.06]All i've sown was a song but maybe i was wrong
[02:20.19]I said to you the one gift which i'd adore
[02:23.25]The package of the next 10 years unfolding
[02:32.97]But you told me if i had my way i'd be bored
[02:38.34]Right then i knew i loved you best born of your scolding
[02:47.79]When we last talked we were lying on our backs
[02:57.24]Looking at the sky through the ceiling
[03:03.45]I used to lie like that alone out on the driveway
[03:09.78]Trying to read the greek upon the stars
[03:14.64]The alphabet of feeling
[03:17.55]Oh i knew back then
[03:24.39]It was a calling that said if joy then pain
[03:32.28]The sound of the voice these years later
[03:38.97]Is still the same
[04:17.07]I am alone in a hotel room tonight
[04:22.89]I squeeze the sky out but there's not a star appears
[04:30.36]Begin my studies with this paper and this pencil
[04:37.92]And i'm working through the grammar of my fears
[04:47.37]Oh mercy what i won't give
[04:52.35]To have the things that mean the most
[04:54.42]Not to mean the things i miss
[04:58.41]Unforgiving the choice still is
[05:06.18]The language or the kiss

I don't know if it was real or in a dream
Lately waking up i'm not sure where i've been
There was a table set for six and five were there
I stood outside and kept my eyes upon that empty chair
And there was steam on the windows from the kitchen
Laughter like a language i once spoke with ease
But i'm made mute by the virtue of decision
And i choose most of your life goes on without me
Oh the fear i've known
That i might reap the praise of strangers
And end up on my own
All i've sown was a song but maybe i was wrong
I said to you the one gift which i'd adore
The package of the next 10 years unfolding
But you told me if i had my way i'd be bored
Right then i knew i loved you best born of your scolding
When we last talked we were lying on our backs
Looking at the sky through the ceiling
I used to lie like that alone out on the driveway
Trying to read the greek upon the stars
The alphabet of feeling
Oh i knew back then
It was a calling that said if joy then pain
The sound of the voice these years later
Is still the same
I am alone in a hotel room tonight
I squeeze the sky out but there's not a star appears
Begin my studies with this paper and this pencil
And i'm working through the grammar of my fears
Oh mercy what i won't give

Not to mean the things i miss
Unforgiving the choice still is
The language or the kiss
