Fallen Sisters
Wasting time
Waiting in an empty line
My legs will have to take me where I go
I change my mind
I think I need a little time
To process all these thoughts and alcohol

But you’re here beside me like you were before
I’m here and I will fight, not running any more

Wasting time
Staring at an empty sky
A single star above is so alone
Hazel eyes
Look at me for a little while
Before the sun comes up and we go home

But it’s now tomorrow, yesterday is gone
And I found no sorrow, to be letting go

This is a call to the fallen sisters
Who came along with a song they like to sing
Why can’t you see
That you’re not going home with me

I took a fall for a calling sister
Who came along with the wrong idea of me
Why can’t you see
That you are going home alone and not with me
You came along
You sang me that familiar song
The same you sang me all those months ago
But did you wait for me to call you call you back
When I told you it was cancelled after all
Oh what a fall

This is a call to the fallen sisters
Who came along with a song they like to sing
Why can’t you see
That you’re not going home with me

I took a fall for a calling sister
Who came along with the wrong idea of me
Why can’t you see
That you are going home alone and not with me

Wasting time
On the way to cast a line
The wind will take the sinker where it goes
I close the blinds
We lay here for a little while
A way to say goodbye before I go

But you’re like a fire burning in my soul
Burning my insides it’s time to let you go
This is a call to the fallen sisters
Who came along with a song they like to sing
Why can’t you see
That you’re not going home with me

I took a fall for a calling sister
Who came along with the wrong idea of me
Why can’t you see
That you are going home alone and not with me
