lyrics

A phone call made without a sound… then a tremor, then a crack, then a breakdown. You hit the wall and almost broke your wrist when the tension built up in your fist.

Boy, don't you know how you reverberate? I see you faking that smile as if you believe you're alone, but I'll be patiently standing inside of this doorway til you make your way back home.

Maybe you were too scared to see if you'd be okay eventually, or couldn't listen to those songs without feeling her wrapped in your arms, and maybe you thought it would hurt more than your body hitting the floorboards. Maybe it's god. Maybe it's love. Maybe we'll never know what you were thinking of.

Do you know? When you felt those pills you spilled sliding down your throat, what held you back? What kept you from letting go? You couldn't swallow all your fears on the follow through. You couldn't burn out on your own.

Maybe you know how you reverberate. I see you faking that smile as if you believe you're alone, but I'll be patiently standing inside of this doorway til you make your way back home.

Don't fall asleep on the phone. I'll be holding my breath, scared to death that your life will end with a dial tone.

Oh, how you reverberate. I see you faking that smile as if you believe you're alone, but I'll be patiently standing inside of this doorway til you make your way back home.
