Dust

We should live by the water

But we wandered to a town with no dock

Now three weeks from tomorrow's lost

I've been taking forever for granted

Like I haven’t been here before

Now I take my dose of denial every morning

I still light your favorite candles

I still make coffee for two

I still wake up with half the bed made

Like I've been sleeping next to you

Then I see our pictures are faded

And our old life collecting dust

And I know, you're not coming back to us

We should've sailed to that island

Instead of driving

Down these landlocked long roads

Too many turns to get back home

I'd been assuming tomorrow was given

Now I'm still living like we were before

And I take my dose of denial

Every morning

I still light your favorite candles

I still make coffee for two

I still wake up with half the bed made

Like I've been sleeping next to you

Then I see our pictures are faded

And our old life collecting dust

And I know, you're not coming back to us

Another season that I can't watch without you

Sit at a dinner table I set for two

Sometimes the dust reveals the truth

I still light your favorite candles

I still make coffee for two

I still wake up with half the bed made

Like I've been sleeping here with you

Then I see our pictures are faded

And our old life collecting dust

And I know, you're not coming back to us
