You were looking away towards the trees
There was a time you used to listen closer to me
As close as the air is to the sea
So close I could feel you breathe
How we got here I'd say quietly
As quietly as those same trees grew to shade
One day at a time and further away
Further and further and further away
Now my hands are two empty cups
Maybe I was asking for a little too much
To keep the newness from wearing off
Through every start
there's gonna be a stop
You're leaving now through the hole of an argument
I guess for a while you've been looking for the exit
You slam the door so hard I still hear rattling spoons
The sound of silence rings in every room
That last talk left me a makeup rainbow of
tears Turned everything blurry I can't see a thing
from here I tried so hard to make myself clear
Life can't help but interfere You
used to lean in like I was whispering
And it just keeps getting nearer again
I still miss the way you leaned in
What happened between now and then
And my hands are two empty cups
Maybe I was asking for a little too much
To keep the newness from wearing off
Through every start
there's gonna be a stop
I was always a sucker for your wrist at my cheap
There was a time when I was everything
And I tried so hard to make myself clear
Somehow life interfered
My hands are two empty cups Maybe I was
asking for a little too much
To keep the newness from wearing off
Through every start there's gonna be a stop
My hands are two empty cups Maybe I was asking for a little too much
To keep the newness from wearing off
Through every start there's gonna be a stop
