lyrics

Wake up, if you go now
They may still be waiting for their time
When god raises his fist you'll be alone
With empty faces on your shelf

Their skin cells
Their skin cells are constantly
Constant fighting
Sunshine from a teenage summer dream
Thick black locks
Locked up in a photograph
Turned white like a portrait of a Nor'easter storm

I can't wait until I see you again
Because I know really soon there'll be no more you

Look hard
Think back to the years you'd thrown away
If they didn't hold you fast
Don't try, don't try to generalize
That every single moment was a lie

Each bus stop
Each bus stop you know so well
That automated voice is proof that you do belong
Tiny days piled into a giant year
Too long for someone to hold such poison in their lungs

And I can't wait until I see you again
Because I know really soon there'll be no more you
And I can't wait to tell how much I care
I tear up everytime I try to dial your line

Good intentions, short sighted
Good intentions, bad juju
Good intentions, I know where to find
They're right inside

'Cause I know really soon
There'll be no more you
