Come Down

I’ve been living in a bad dream
One where hope is just some empty feeling
Use my body ‘til it breaks down
Then tell your friends to fix me up and meet me downtown
You picked a manic with a bad trade
I’ll wade through cadence until every cent of debt’s paid
And if I have to work the night shift
I’ll shuffle cards and tell those pretty girls their fortunes

So come down
I miss you when you're gone
I want you, and it’s wrong
But nothing in this world is right
I saw a car crash once
Where everybody died inside
But we moved on
And only think of them at night

Ripped all the pictures on the wall down
Unless the image of you walking out still counts
I used to be a better person
I used to speak as if my words were said in cursive
I can’t tell you where my mind goes
It hit the road some years ago, and a new home
I’m walking circles in my basement
Unpacking boxes of the things you said you hate

So come down
I miss you when you're gone
I want you, and it’s wrong
But nothing in this world is right
I saw a car crash once
Where everybody died inside
But we moved on
And only think of them at night

I’ve been living in this world
That I built up around you
Now I know I can’t go back
After what you put me through
They always say one day these wounds will heal
But I’m out of time
After what you put me through
They always say one day these wounds will heal

So come down
I miss you when you're gone
I want you, and it’s wrong
But nothing in this world is right
I saw a car crash once
Where everybody died inside
But we moved on
And only think of them at night
