I hear the clock--it's six am. I feel so far from where I've been. I got my eggs and my pancakes, too. Got my maple syrup... everything but you. I break the yolks and make a smiley face. I kinda like it in my brand-new place. I wipe the spots off the mirror, don't leave the keys in the door. I never put wet towels on the floor anymore 'cause... dreams last so long, even after you're gone. I know that you love me and soon, you will see... you were meant for me, and I was meant for you.
I called my momma, she was out for a walk. Consoled a cup of coffee, but it didn't wanna talk. Picked up a paper, it was more bad news--more hearts being broken or people being used. Put on my coat in the pouring rain. Saw a movie, it just wasn't the same 'cause it was happy, and I was sad. It made me miss you oh, so bad.
Dreams last so long, even after you're gone. I know, that you love me and soon you will see you were meant for me, and I was meant for you.
Go about my business, I'm doing fine. Besides, what would I say if I had you on the line? Same old story, not much to say. Hearts are broken every day.
Brush my teeth and put the cap back on. I know you hate it when I leave the light on. I pick up a book, turn the sheets down. Take a deep breath and a good look around. Put on my PJ's and hop into bed. I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead. I try and tell myself it'll be alright. I just shouldn't think anymore tonight.
Dreams last so long, even after you're gone. I know that you love me. And soon, you will see you were meant for me, and I was meant for you.
