lyrics

Crossing lines and taking mine, a trick I’ve faced the second time. Were you lonely in your city?
And I digressed what’s on my chest, for it’s not my life; it’s not my mess, and I truly hope you’re happy.
I know I said that I don’t mind, but what else could I say with news of your father.
And Jake, I never saw you moving in at all. I’m trusting in a large part and a skeptic small. I never thought you’d take things this far.
And I’m naive more than a little bit, but I would call it a good trait not to question my friends when they’re walking boundaries they should know better.
And if you think that I don’t mind, I wish I didn’t, but you’re there while I sleep.

I try to smile, maybe laugh of things I long left in the past and mean to leave there.
A single time was not enough? I can’t get why you would relive this for me, brother.

The case is different, yeah; I needed her out. I was suffocating in my own house, but now I’m lonely in my city.
I’m simply jealous; yeah, I’ll give you that, but I depend on friends to cease my looking back, and you’ve gone out of your way this time.
It’s hard enough to move forward without reminders of what I still lack inside.

Was there no one else?
If it means that much to you…
If she meant that much to you, then take this light from my city.
You should have called. (You could have called)
You should know I would have listened.
I’ve still the ear to hear you; you’re my brother.
