You were the fading signal that would slip through the static

For a station that I never could find

So you don't need to say a word right now

C Em D

All your reasons would just flicker in the darkness

Maybe that's why nobody knows how

To be completely honest

(Intro lick)

To be completely honest it feels like you're still in the room

F G

From the bracelets that you left on the nightstand to the crows in the yard each afternoon

I just can't get off it I haven't been sleeping at all

Some questions weave themselves into the fabric

And some are what compel me to call

But then I never know where I should start

C Em D

And a record of the symptoms is all I have accomplished

I never really thought it'd be so hard

Remembering the defect at the heart of every promise

well maybe that's the only way
