Bed-Sheet Ropes

I've seen your reflection in the mirror for a couple months since you've been gone
In case you've ever wondered, my hearts a little colder, but it still beats it's little tone
All I see are the clouds all around, keeping track of me in case I fall 
There are faces that remind me of you, but I can't bear to count them all. 

You left home in the Autumn of this past year, but it's summer in Georgia now
Every time I wake up in a sweat, I navigate to your cold side of the bed. 
And it's storming outside as I open my eyes to the shadows on the wall
They all look like you, but they linger around too long. 

I've spent the last ten years staring at the road
The last ten months wondering where it goes
And the last ten minutes pleading on the phone
That you won't leave me in this world alone

There's a bed-sheet rope hanging out the window 
It's all I've got for now until my eyes close 
I'd go anywhere but I'm so scared that I'd get lost. 
Cause I can't walk around in the dark anymore
You're the missing piece of my roaming soul
And I need you now, more than I ever have before

Did that Cadillac take you to where you needed to go?
Did the driver wipe your tears with his leather coat?
Did you ever stop and think about me then, 
As he took you by the hand and helped you in 
To the life your living inside of his snow globe?

I've spent the last three weeks staring at the wall
And all the pictures of you start to talk
All the deafening words explaining all that I've done wrong
I'm begging you dear, would you please come home?

I thought 21 years would've helped me along
Maybe I could learn to stand on my own 
But I've been tripping over my feet as I try to find where I belong. 
Then you came back home to where we are 
And I'm sorry that we grew apart
And I was scared to death, but I knew it all along

You're here in my arms. 
This is where we belong.
