Left and Leaving

My city's still breathing, but barely, it's true Through buildings gone missing like teeth The sidewalks are watching me think about you Sparkled with broken glass I'm back with scars to show Back with the streets I know Will never take me anywhere but here The stain in the carpet, this drink in my hand The strangers whose faces I know We meet here for our dress rehearsal to say I wanted it this way Wait for the year to drown Spring forward, fall back down I'm trying not to wonder where you are All this time Lingers, undefined Someone choose Who's left and who's leaving Memory will rust and erode into lists Of all that you gave me A blanket, some matches, this pain in my chest The best parts of lonely Duct-tape and soldered wires New words for old desires And every birthday card I threw away I wait in 4/4 time Count yellow highway lines That you're relying on to lead you home That you're relying on to lead you home That you're relying on to lead you home
