lyrics

Message.

We're hanging at this window still
This computer is my window sill
I wish that i could pull you through to here.

And when your smiling back at me
I want to reach right through that screen
but the dent i make reminds me your not there.

Send a message to myself
send a warning in the mail
If you put me on that shelf
every morning i will fail.
Send a message to myself
write a list and let it go
watch it blow out with the wind
and blow on down the road.

The feeling when i get this way
is like you took the biggest train
and tied me to the tracks just for a scare
So I’m staring at the ceiling now
I’m out of touch but i cant tell
it says your not away... but your not there.

Send a message to myself
send a warning in the mail
if you put me on that shelf
every morning i will fail.
Send a message to myself
write a list and let it go
watch it blow out with the wind
and blow on down the road.

I will fail...
