lyrics

My bones are shifting, or so they say
The clock is ticking away; I know I can’t beat time
My soul is lifting but my heart is fading fast
It won’t last but for now I’m feeling fine
Aching and breaking and waking from midnight sleep
I keep your heart in a little box next to mine
Taking apart the pieces on the floor but there’s one I can’t find

The one missing piece from this puzzle
The struggle of losing you
And soon I’ll be lost too
But for now I just long for the moon
You were the best thing, and I’ll see you soon

My mind is straying; it’s so hard to remember
The tender words you last spoke to me
My body’s decaying but my spirit stays high
Flying though the pictures and the memories
Running in circles, chasing my own tail
My mind fails again but I feel free
The sun dances on the window’s ledge and through its rays, it is you I see

The one missing piece from my puzzle
The struggle of losing you
And soon I’ll be lost too
But for now I just long for the moon
You were the best thing, and I’ll see you soon

And I’m still sitting here, piecing everything together
Covered by your sweater, staring at the empty space
