Outer space

Sitting by the ocean, living in a daydream

I guess this is how friendship's supposed to work but 

I share more with outer space than with you


Oh, what a way to spend a Saturday, sitting by the window

Oh, what a way to spend a Saturday, waiting by the window for me


Living in the city, a million thousand people, 

grasping for the sunlight amongst the clouds but 

I share more with outer space than with you


Oh, what a way to spend a Saturday sitting by the window 

Oh, what a way to spend a Saturday sitting by the window for me


Sitting by a bookcase, reading non-fiction nothing but fact and discoveries but I share more with outer space than the truth

Oh, what a way to spend a Saturday, sitting by the window

Oh, what a way to spend a Saturday, waiting by the window for me


Staying by the beach, for whole long nights, wondering if maybe you are still alive but I share more with outer space than you

All my childish innocence has left me.


My patience and desires have gone away

Now my life has left me with nothing but insecurities.


There was nowhere to run, no one to turn to


might not be the strongest, but I have the dignity not to let you take over my heart anymore. It's time I look out for myself. I still have so much to say, but saying it won't help anyone.


 What I've ever said since that day will never capture everything that's been on my mind, but to be honest.. I don't think you deserve my vulnerability anymore. With a bitter, broken heart, I have to say our time is done.


It hurts more than anything that's ever hurt me, but one day the pain will leave me as you did.

 

But I was clever, I left before the pressure cause I can’t stand you hurting me again.


And I can't wait to finally be free.


Oh, what a way to spend a Saturday, sitting by the window

Oh, what a way to spend a Saturday, waiting by the window for me

 

And you came into my life

Made my gray skies go to blue

The kindness in you has changed me

It has made me happy too.


Now if I just close my eyes, your gentle voice fills the night

I can feel the pain depart, you've filled its place in my heart


You save me from disasters, you protect me from all harm

Please promise me that you'll never leave my side

Believe me when I say that I need you to survive

There was nowhere to run, no one to turn to

Till you came and made me new


And you came into my life

Made my gray skies go to blue

The kindness in you has changed me

It has made me happy too

Now if I just close my eyes, your gentle voice fills the night

I can feel the pain depart, you've filled its place in my heart


Before you I was nothing, no one cared for me at all

You're my voice when I can't speak, and you catch me when I fall


Whoa oh oh

Now if I just close my eyes, your gentle voice fills the night

I can feel the Pain Depart, you've filled its place in my heart
