City in Between Lyrics

The sun shines sweet here
Mornings full of light that never fade
And the stars look real here
They sing my eyes to sleep when I am wide awake
The roads aren't paved here
I stumble over stones and when I'm done I wander home
But my heart sure hurts here
Cause everything I learned was everything I should've known

And I know I'm out of line
But I've been thinking
One too many times about
When autumn fell
And I know that heart of yours
Can take a beating
But I swear I tried to fix you up
And treat you well

I've got a way with words now
I bend them till they break entirely
I try to write them all down
But it's not the same as when you wrote them back to me

I'll say I'd rather
take it all for granted
Than change my ways
and learn to follow through
I've gotten good at
blaming this on chance and
It isn't hard to see
I'm just no good for you

Now I know I've lost you
I told myself I wouldn't say a word
About the way I've held you
I sing alone and hope somehow you might have heard

The sounds of every city in between us
And every single word that didn't rhyme
Just leave me as you found me in December
And promise not to wake me when you leave this time
