And I'll go sit on the floor wearing your clothes, All that I know is I don't know how to be something you miss. But I had never planned on you changing your mind. You can plan for a change in the weather and time. And I hope the sun shines and it's a beautiful day, And something reminds you, you wished you had stayed. And I'll keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are. And I'll feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe. So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep. There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions. How you kiss me when I was in the middle of saying something. I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets. Because I love your handshake meeting my father. And I rolled my eyes and then you pulled me in, I'm not much a dancer, before you I did. The life of the party, you're showing off again. But now I'll go sit on the floor wearing your clothes, All that I know is I don't know how to be something you miss. The beat of your heart, it jumps through your shirt, I can still feel your arms. I ran off the plane, that sure lighted night. I had to recall now, the smell of the rain fresh on the pavement. ![]() ![]() ![]() You told me you loved me, So why did you go? Wait. The words that you whispered were just us to know. I still remember the look on your face, Lit through the darkness of 158.
