sometimes
you wake up on the side of the road
in a town you can’t say you know
thought these streets were home
but sometimes
these sidewalks are so cold
sometimes
this sun beats down so hard
and sometimes
there’s an ache in your heart
sometimes
there’s an ache in your heart

you take what you can and stress over things
that never seemed important until
you knew they were leaving
the evenings
are worth waiting through to find
there’s still one more sunrise
if you wait out the whole night
there’s still that one sunrise
to push through if you feel it
if you feel it falling apart
if you feel like that heart
is fallin’ apart

sometimes
you wake up on the passenger side
and wonder how long you slept
sometimes
you wake up with her by your side
and wonder where the hell she’s been
sometimes
you wake up alone and find
you’re not surprised
sometimes
that feelings sinks in
that feeling of waking
for nothing
--
I’ve got silence on tap
and a song in my throat
let’s see which one
is drowned out
