Some days I′ll admit feels a little like rain
Feels a little like falling asleep on your train
I know that you were right, I couldn't let you in
But I held you so tight your breath burned on my skin
And is it near or is it far that we begin?

To know something′s near
Not the change in the seasons that scares me, dear
It's the sound in the distance I start to hear

Some days in my mind, I see you look the same
The way you were two years ago when you came
I see you there, softly moving sweet around my pain
Fixing my heart in my hands and my brain
But we knew we couldn't stay, we couldn′t stay

You know something′s near
Not the change in seasons that scares me, dear
It's the sound in the distance I start to hear

When it rolls in like just like thunder
And the storm that breaks, makes me wonder why you came at all
And you′re gone, gone, gone, gone
And when you leave, part of you, part of me, will start to breathe
When you're gone, gone, gone, gone
Hmm-mm, hmm-mm

Some days I′ll admit I don't know what to do
You came, and you gave me the deepest parts of you
But now I′m falling asleep, and I'm falling awake
And I don't know now how long it′s going to take
Ooh, no, no, no

You know something′s near
Not the change in seasons that scares me, dear
It's the sound in the distance I start to hear

When it rolls in like just like thunder
And the storms that breaks, makes me wonder why you came at all
And you′re gone, gone, gone, gone
And when you leave, part of you, part of me will start to breathe
When you're gone, gone, gone, gone
