Empty Seat

The sun is slipping through the pines.  
Been chasing me all day up 35. 
I’m grateful for the company but it seems that we have 
different destinations in mind. 
Feel it’s shadow sink behind my shoulder.  
Making room for the darkness to take over. 
Soon there’ll be a moon but there’s only so much it can do 
against the big, black Northern sky. 
Oh I’m scared to be alone on this road I didn’t choose, 
but I know I know I know The only way out is through. 

So I’m going to cry all my tears. Call out all my fears. 
I’m gonna face the empty seat beside me and let it remind me, let it remind me of you. 
All the plans we made, your voice saying my name 
I’m gonna face the empty seat beside me and let it remind me, let it remind me of you. 

I turn on then I turn off my radio. 
Settle on some melody I used to know 
Back when I still threw my wishes at the first star that appeared 
outside my bedroom window. 
I’d give anything to feel that way again.  
Full of promise waiting on love to begin. 
But for now my grown up broken heart is doing what it can 
just to keep beating, keep beating. 
Oh I’m scared to be alone on this road I didn’t choose 
But I’ll follow where it goes, until I get over you, I will get over you 

So I’m going to cry all my tears. Call out all my fears. 
I’m gonna face the empty seat beside me 
and let it remind me, let it remind me of 
All the plans we made, your voice saying my name 
I’m gonna face the empty seat beside me and let it remind me, 
let it remind me of 
You – walking away like it was nothing. 
Let it remind me of 
you – saying I’d never be enough for you. 
Well I refuse to become jaded because you changed your mind.  
I refuse to become jaded because you said goodbye. 

So I’m going to cry all my tears. Call out all my fears. 
I’m gonna face the empty seat beside me 
and let it remind me, let it remind me of 
All the plans we made, your voice saying my name 
I’m gonna face the empty seat beside me and let it remind me, 
let it remind me of 
You
