lyrics

I'm sorry she said, threw a rock from the garden bed
I felt my cheeks getting red
I'm sorry, I couldn't find better words in my head so I fled
Oh, I fled like a little bird scared of her own sound
Will I see you around, will I see you around?

Cause I tell you the song sounds different when you're not here
a half-forgotten tune that slips out of the ear
like sand through cracks in the wall;
I never wanted to leave the sea at all
But the thoughts and the fears, both the real and perceived
Lead me to conclusions I'd like to believe
so I'll hum a fragment of a tune so I can feel close to you
so I can do what I want

Drink when I want, and smoke when I can
Dive into something irrelevant to a man, yeah,
cause love has caused me nothing but heartache and pain
Least I'd like to paint it that way, cause that way
I could justify being so bad -- making you cry over what we had
So I'll throw and I'll yell, but I'll never quite shake
Feeling that hell is the feelings we make

Oh the song sounds different when you're not here
a half forgotten tune that slips out of the ear
like sand through cracks in the wall;
I never wanted to leave the sea at all
But the thoughts and the fears, both the real and perceived
Lead me to conclusions I'd like to believe
so I'll hum a fragment of a tune so I can feel close to you
so I can do what I want

But what to do? Can't I have my cake and eat it too?

Oh I tell you, the song sounds different when you're not here
a half forgotten tune that slips out of the ear
like sand through cracks in the wall;
I never wanted to leave the sea at all
But the thoughts and the fears, both the real and perceived
Lead me to conclusions I'd like to believe
so I'll hum a fragment of a tune so I can feel close to you
so I can do what I want
