The First Morning

[Verse 1]
Winter's back and [?]
You start to pack, we make other plans
But there's not much to say
I'll see you in thirty days

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I hold your cat 'cause that's the closest thing I have to you
Looks like he's gonna be leaving me too

[Chorus 1]
And the first morning seems so long
Now it's sixteen days you've been gone
[?] from coast to coast
With transatlantic calls [?] the panic [?]
But every night seemed like the last
We say that every breath clung tight to [?] future and past
[?] gone so fast

[Verse 2]
Part of me wondered if you'd figure it out
[?] my gaze, the sweeter taste in my mouth
From the look in your eyes
I'd say you picked it up just finе

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I shut my eyes, but I can't get you out of my mind
Think I rеally fucked up this time

[Chorus 2]
And the first morning seems so long
Now it's sixteen days you've been gone
[?] from coast to coast
With transatlantic calls [?] the panic [?]
But every night seemed like the last
We say that every breath clung tight to [?] future and past
This year's gone so fast

[Bridge]
Now every time you touch my cheek [?]
If I could take it back, I would, I'd try, sure I could get it back this time

[Coda]
And you could scream on and on and on
But if you slam the door once more, I'm gone
So why should we keep on
Pretending everything's fine, nothing's wrong
Tried to tell you gently
I can feel us ending
No more desperate phone calls
I think we've hit a wall
