[Verse]
(continue playing intro)
I'm standin' still without you
In the emptiest of fields
Wish that I could say what's on my mind
The straw that fills your heart so you never have to feel
You say that you just need a little time
Days like these I bury my each and every word
Hide them underneath these lonely trees
The harvest moon is wicked
I know that you've been hurt
I swear I'm here for good I'll never leave
[Pre-Chorus]
This is where it starA7sus4ts tonight
If you open up your hDeart tonight
[Chorus]
YCadd9ou're staring out the wiGndow
I?m ouDt here in the sEm7treet
YCadd9ou stand there like a scGarecrow
I?m beDgging you to sEm7peak

(continue playing intro)
Used to be so full of life not just an empty shell
You're out there all alone I wonder why
The pieces keep on falling out and I pick them up myself
But I'd let you steal the buttons from my eyes
