[Verse 1]

I hold you close

To feel your pulse against my skin

To keep you near

And press my ear into your chest

To hear the sounds

The grinding pounds of breaking down

Like running free

Are you home?

Or somewhere unfamiliar

What do you know?

This isn’t what I wanted either

Cause I’m a mess

And I romanticize it because I do it best

And you play along by singing


[Chorus]

Well hey, lay in the bed you made!

Your slacks are ripped and your shirt is stained

And who’s to blame?

Hey, what’s this thing you’ve heard?

The place you missed has changed, the new thing doesn’t work

So where you running to?


[Verse 2]

I push you far cause I know just where you are when I’m alone

On the ledge waiting for a hand to hold

Diving down into the sounds of time rolling by

Like cars on the freeway as I waltz along the side

Are you home?

Or somewhere familiar to what we used to know?

This isn’t what I wanted either

Cause I’m okay

Things seem weird but I think I’ll find my way

Maybe this time I’ll get to say


[Chorus]

Well hey, lay in the bed you made!

Your slacks are ripped and your shirt is stained

And who’s to blame?

Hey, what’s this thing you’ve heard?

The place you missed has changed, the new thing doesn’t work

So where you running to?


[Bridge]

So I’ll just hold my tongue

The only thing I’ve known

Yet again I let the silence write the songs

I’ll promise to be good if you pretend you’re good

And I might lie and say nothing besides


[Chorus]

Well hey, lay in the bed you made!

Your slacks are ripped and your shirt is stained

And who’s to blame?

Hey, what’s this thing you’ve heard?

The place you missed has changed, the new thing doesn’t work
