Flip the pages back and forth to try and find the end
Thats how the story goes
Pages blank and words unsaid

An empty chair
An empty room
You said goodbye
But your lips don't move

I drove for miles
But left too soon
I need to find
The road to you

Somehow I spurned
The chance to say
And the thing I learned
From this tragedy
Is when it hurts
Say the last words first

Hazy skies and afternoons
and suns that never set
A thousand miles inside your shoes
A thousand years inside your head

And I won't cry for absolution
Or plant a flag on higher ground

Somehow I spurned
The chance to say
And the thing I learned
From this tragedy
Is when it hurts
Say the last words first
