about

This song was originally about lost friends drifting apart but over time it became so much more. At least to me it did.

lyrics

Walking out on you
Was the hardest thing I'll ever do
Vulnerable and weak
I hope you understand
It's my soul, not my body that's tired
You're stronger than I'm wired to be
But you're not alone
I was merely passing through
I had nowhere else to go
You showed me a home
Eyes dug out like coal mines
And knees like rocks ready to fall
I've got a light outside your hemisphere
Far away from here
But still in reach if it gets colder
You guessed wrong, I'm still in your atmosphere
Just so we're clear
You can still cry on my shoulder
Touching base
On life since I left this place
I'm cold and I've been better
But hell, we've both been worse
Everyone's still talking shit
It's nice to know some things never change
I've got a light outside your hemisphere
Far away from here
But still in reach if it gets colder
You guessed wrong, I'm still in your atmosphere
Just so we're clear
You can still cry on my shoulder
Part of this world is violent
Part of this world just can't be true
Part of this world is fire and fury
And the other part is you
I woke up and decided I can't do this anymore
So I locked myself out, and you carried on
You wore yourself so down, you thought I was the healing hand
But guess what, you guessed wrong
So come down baby
Come down off your cloud
Come down baby
There's nobody here now
So come down baby
Come down off your cloud
Come down baby
There's nobody here now
So come down baby
Come down off your cloud
Come down baby
There's nobody here now
So come down baby
Come down off your cloud
Come down baby
There's nobody here now
I used to dream
Of being kidnapped on the scene
Tied up and scared
At least I'd be going somewhere
You're the one that sold me out
You probably won't see me around
I'm the one who left without a trace
Now I'm just another dirty face
I've got a light outside your hemisphere
Far away from here
But still in reach if it gets colder
You guessed wrong, I'm still in your atmosphere
Just so we're clear
You can still cry on my shoulder
Part of this world is violent
Part of this world just can't be true
Part of this world is fire and fury
And the other part is you
