Misplaced Lyrics

Your phone call from Montreal said
I was back into you
But as I listened to the words fall
I treaded as the artist drew
Me down on my knees with liquid eyes begging please
Won't you stay for another course
But if I was you, I'd agree with what you chose to do

And I tried and tried and tried that night
I cried and cried so that we would fight
And distance was the accomplice that saw me lose

The most that I ever knew,
Everything, if not the sun
In the space that could handle two
You were gone.

You gave me your heart and habits
Proverbially at my side
And though maybe I took advantage
You know I never really lied
I was out in the field collecting strength for my shield
And I misplaced what made me real
I can't ask you to wait around
But you know, you can't deny

That I tried and tried and tried that night
I cried and cried so that we would fight
And distance was the accomplice that saw me lose

The most that I ever knew
Everything, if not the sun
In the space that could handle two
You were gone.
