"Empty Bottle" lyrics

"Empty Bottle"

Time flies and I can't keep up
All the years I have to sweep up
Late at night I'm in my bed and in my head
And the feelings start to creep up

Remember how we used to dress up
You're beautiful until you're messed up
Take a picture cause I think we're losing light

This is how we say goodbye
It's how we say goodnight

Bang, bang my head against a wall of sound
Wall like a love it brings me to the ground
We surf the crowd but we will not go down
I don't want to drown if you're not drowning with me

Late December when we're waking
There's an unfamiliar aching
By the way you held my hand, held my heart
I didn't notice it was breaking

This is how you say goodbye
It's how you say good night

My heart cracks open and the stage goes black
I count to sixty and I meet you in the back
I can't stop gushing, I'm a hemophiliac
I don't wanna bleed if you're not bleeding with me
Count the stars but we can't bring them down
It's a mistake union, it's buzzing all around
Eight more hours and I'm leaving town
But I don't wanna leave if you're not leaving with me
I don't wanna breathe if you're not breathing with me

And love is over, it's over and you can't go back
When you're older, you just keep telling yourself that
The door is open, even if it's just a tiny crack
You're up at night and wandering back

And love is over, it's over and you can't go back
When you're older, you just keep telling yourself that
The door is open, even if it's just a tiny crack
You're up at night and wandering back
You're up at night and wandering back
