[Verse 1]
Knees to my chest on the hardwood floor
Tonight's the last time that I'll walk out that door
When will it sink in that I'm really leaving?
Moving out of our house hurts
But it don't come close
To the hole in my heart knowing we'll be apart
Cause you really felt like home
My life is in boxes
Got back my deposit
But I stirred up some dirt in the air from the mess in our closet
[Chorus]
Maybe when the dust settles
Maybe when we're both better
Maybe when it doesn't have to hurt every time
I see your name pop up on my phone
Maybe in the springtime weather
We can sit down together
Talk it all out once we both come down
I know there's a lot up in the air right now
But maybe when the dust settles
Ohhhh
Maybe when the dust settles
[Verse 2]
I can't imagine my life without you
(Nooooo)
And watching our world that we built fall apart is the worst thing I've been through
I know it's no one's fault
We're both holplessly watching the cards fall
In this whirlwind of hurting and learning sometimes things just go wrong
[Chorus]
Maybe when the dust settles
Maybe when we're both better
Maybe when it doesn't have to hurt every time
I see your name pop up on my phone
Maybe in the springtime weather
We can sit down together
Talk it all out once we both calm down
I know there's a lot up in the air right now
But maybe when the dust settles
Ohhhh
Maybe when the dust settles
[Outro]
Yeah, my life is in boxes
Got back my deposit
But I stirred up some dirt in the air from the mess in our closet
