how i'd love to write a song that puts everyone in stir
& i could've, should've, would've, if it hadn't been for her
i'm over it in theory, i'm getting closer to what you'd prefer
but my hero's made a glorious return
& now everything's a blur

the last few years it's felt like it's been years since we talked
you don't pick up & i try not to answer when you knock
not sure what i expected but since you ask i guess i'm still alright
i'll make another gesture, i swear i'll leave the house tonight

there'll be no daylight left between us
& no ground left beneath us
tomorrow might take fifteen years
but it's bound to one day reach us
& i sort of miss your sister, but i'm happy with the way things went
when i said that i was lonely, this really wasn't what i meant

oh, what's another box
when you've got the storage space
& what's another corner
once you're finally out of paint
& what's another hour
or even two or three between friends
i've got nothing but time these days
i've got more time than i can spend

oh, what's another box
when you've got the storage space
& what's another corner
once you're finally out of paint
& what's another lifetime
it all evens out in the end
i'm getting nothing but sleep these days
& it's something i would highly recommend
