Wake up and try
	   
you're not listening
	      
and neither am i
	  		   
but it's only a matter of time
				
before we're walking out the door

		   
sit with me on the bed
	  		    
and stop pacing and pacing instead
	 		  
cuz it's only a matter of when
      		          
this heart to heart will end

     		 			 
and oh before we go

goodbye safety brace

goodbye baby clothes
                                                
as you describe a straight line through all these rooms

				   
i want you to put your hands on my face
	 		   
run them over and over and trace
     			    
the lines that are starting to indicate
		
how long i've been in this place

    

     		       
the sun shines all day
        			 
on the curb where our valuables lay
         		 
waiting all to be taken away
	  		  
like we brought them in before

		      
stand with me in the den
 	 			 
that's white walls and bare carpet again
				
it was warm now it's empty and dead
			
and we won't come back again


     		 			 
and oh before we go

goodbye tv trays

goodbye baby clothes
                                                
as you describe a straight line through all these rooms
		
through birthday parties
		
late night laundry
		    
baby's brides and grooms

				   
i want you to put your hands on my face
	 		   
run them over and over and trace
     			    
the lines that are starting to indicate
		
how long i've been in this place
     			    
the lines that are starting to indicate
		
how long i've been in this place
