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
