I havent been anywhere in about three or five days
Just havent felt the urge or the need to turn the page
Ive been swimming through this sea of smoke and waves of needless doubt
But Im drowned for you and I cant do without

And I was standing on the bridge of the San Francisco Bay
Getting all wrapped up in all the things I heard you say
But I knew I had my mind made up when I stepped aboard that plane
Drawing circles on my eyelids since I heard you call my name

And its taken all my head, but I gave it to you gladly
Thought I loved her bad, but only loved her badly
Maybe leave you lonely for now
Oh, leave you awful lonely for now
And leave somehow.

And I remember dancing down the streets of quiet Rome
And though Ive never been there I consider it my home
I found what I was looking for as soon as I had asked
Gave my treasures to her heart, but the heart gives nothing back

And its taken all my head, but I gave it to you gladly
Thought I loved her bad, but only loved her badly
Maybe leave you lonely this time
Oh, leave you awful lonely this time
And leave somehow.

She left me a message and it said what I thought it would
Said I had a place to stay if I ever thought I could
Make it back east again, like I ever had the choice
To catch the leaves afalling down the texture of her voice
Well Im reading all your notes, checking all your signs gone stiff
I love you, pretty baby, like Im standing on a cliff

Maybe leave you lonely a while,
Maybe leave you lonely a time,
Oh, leave you awful lonely for now
And leave somehow.
