Blank Stares

[Intro: Voicemail Audio]
Oh, Jay, I just was wondering what you were doing. And I wanna, um, I just wanted... to say, happy, um...

[Verse 1]
There's a voicemail that I keep
I listen to it just to hear you speak
"Hey, son" turns to silence just like that
You know I love you walking by
Like you saw the phone in your hand and you didn't know why
It's crazy how you come and go so fast

[Chorus]
Oh, how do I get you back?
If I could only seal the cracks you're slipping through
Wish I didn't feel so helpless when it comes to helping you
Hold on
So I keep holdin' on
To every little memory made of you and me
Every little glimpse of who you used to be
I know you're still in there
Deep down, somewhere, I swear I still see you
Between the blank stares

[Verse 2]
It's the first thing that I think about
When I wake up and when I lay down
It's the last thing I feel crawlin' through my mind
I'm still trying to understand it
Sittin' next to you, holding your hand
And hoping you won't fade away this time

[Chorus]
Just stay a little while
Please stay a little while
If I could only seal the cracks you're slippin' through
Wish I didn’t feel so helpless when it comes to helping you
Hold on
So I keep holdin' on
To every little memory made of you and me
Every little glimpse of who you used to be
I know you're still in there
Deep down, somewhere, I swear I still see you
Between the blank stares

[Bridge]
It's getting harder and harder
To watch you disappear
Oh, you're falling farther and farther
And leaving me in tears

[Chorus]
If I could only seal the cracks you're slippin' through
Wish I didn't feel so helpless when it comes to helping you
Hold on
But I keep holdin' on
Every little memory made of you and me
Every little glimpse of who you used to be
I know you're still in there
Deep down, somewhere, I swear I still see you
Yeah, I still see you
Between the blank stares
Between the blank stares
