Departures

You know I hate to see you suffer

But could you hold on a little longer

Til I get home

I miss the knocking on my bedroom door

You used to keep me up at night

But now I lay here wide awake without you

And I still look for you in all your favorite spots

But you're not there

And it's not fair

You don't get used to contemplating loss

And it's only creeping closer

From start to end, you were always my friend

Man it never gets easier

And hey kid, I'll miss you too

There's comfort in familiar places

And destinations filled with sentiment

Like the past is in the present

But the moments don't last

And then I'm left with all the pieces

It takes so much longer to pull yourself together

Than it does to fall apart

But we'll never play that game again

And home will never really ever be the same again

And lately, I think I've lost myself without you

But I'm gonna take it day by day

Cause time never really stops it only fades away

I'm trying to save face, but we both know

That I've seen some better days

You don't get used to contemplating loss

And it's only creeping closer

From start to end, you were always my friend

Man it never gets easier

And hey kid, I'll miss you too

You know I hate to see you suffer

But could you hold on a little longer

Til I get home

You don't get used to contemplating loss

And it's only creeping closer

From start to end, you were always my friend

Man it never gets easier

And hey kid, I'll miss you too
