Dusty Seats

There is room for you here

It don't matter how long you've been gone

I will always welcome you with a smile

I wanna sit down and listen to you

Take your turn and share your unrefined song

Did you ever find that paper crane

I placed in your palm?

I saw you there on the other side, oh

You and me and a chain-link fence

And even though we were so close, oh

It still felt like a continent

We used to play by the river, oh

So much sand in our eyes

I'm gonna call them days sacred, oh

No need to fantasize

There are so many dusty seats at my table

And I made this one especially for you

So I'm gon' save it, even if we're never able

To have us a sit-on-down and talk this whole thing through

Slip-N-Slidin' in the front yard

Single file waiting in line

Full speed down the yellow lane, until we crashed

Let's go and plant some white poppies

Along the path where we went wrong

And did you ever find that paper crane

I placed in your palm?

I saw you there on the other side

You and me and a chain-link fence

Even though we were so close, oh

It still felt like a continent

There are so many dusty seats at my table

And I made this one especially for you

So I'm gon' save it, even if we're never able

To have us a sit-on-down and talk this whole thing through

It hurts so bad when I see how I contributed

To the empty seats around me

But somehow they're exactly as they're supposed to be

There are so many dusty seats at my table

And I made this one especially for you

So I'm gon' save it, even if we're never able

To have us a sit-on-down and talk this whole thing through

Sit-on-down and talk this whole thing through

Sit-on-down and talk this whole thing through
