Awhile

[Verse 1]
They're breaking up, I'm breaking down
Leaving town in the rain this place has
Needed for a while
Needed for a while
Let them lie, breeze past the sleeping dogs
Almost spoke but ended up just
Watching for a while
Watching for a while

[Chorus]
Let this be a lesson to the girl I left behind
The part of me that's still a window watcher
Leave the folks at home
To try the things they shouldn't try
And get out alive
Get out alive

[Verse 2]
Look on the sorry side
Cry for the southern boy
Wonder when the walls will fall
I tried that for a while
Tried that for a while
Tress have turned, the leaves are nearly lost
One big breath and they'll be gone
And I've known that for a while
Known that for a while

[Chorus]
Let this be a lesson to the girl I set aside
The part of me that only loves the winter
Leave the cold alone to take the things that should've died
Get out alive
Get out alive

[Bridge]
Look inside, out to see
Is there any love left in the pan?
Is there any love left in the pan?
I've built the road this far
Done the best with the bricks that I have
Done the best with the bricks that I have

[Outro]
They're breaking up, I'm breaking out
Leaving town in the rain this place has
Needed for a while
Needed for a while
