lyrics

my thoughts were with you, dear, my thoughts were with you
once they're strong enough to hold you up
then they're weak enough to miss you
I can pretend to be whatever you want me to be
I needed you to need me and to notice when I was sinking
along the way up north I found several souls of sorts
figured that I just struggled with your eyes
and the way they always locked with mine
they can think whatever they want
you said they can think whatever

I'm counting steps as you set your expectations
but this town was not a home until I had to let it go
'cause I've been thinking of where we've been
and where we choose to stay
sitting on benches
watching waves recede and sway, recede and sway
a less permanent nature, recede and sway, recede and sway

no doubt this will never feel like home
no doubt this will never feel like home
no doubt this will never feel like home
I know, I know, I know, I know

can you save it? can you save it?
I never could see through my apathy
never saw you could see straight through me
(can you save it? can you save it? can you? can you?)
