I pace the floors this empty house

Compare its contents to myself

The phone keeps ringing

I know they could never help

Sometimes it's worse to have the time

Then never have it for yourself

I wish I knew you half as much as I can tell



And why does the road I walk not comfort me?

My minds always racing down some other street



We cut that conversation short

Before it starts all that again

Maybe we ought to get it over with

We're scared that we could end it

We count on nothing we don't fear

It's sad to think that theres no guarantees at all

No guarantees at all



And why does the road I walk not comfort me?

My minds always racing down some other street

And why does the road I walk not comfort me?

My hearts always racing, it nearly stopped

When the lights turned red it started to break(Brake)

There was a crash ahead



We pace the floors this empty house

Compare its contents to ourselves And every step I let you down

We cut that conversation short

Before it starts all that again, again, again



I pace the floors this empty house

Compare its contents to myself

The phone keeps ringing

I know, I know, I know, I know
