There’s no time to wait,
you packed shit up and you sealed my fate
I guess things are going to change,
there’s nothing left for me to rearrange.
I hope that you’re able to find yourself soon,
just a plate and a spoon in an empty room
It’s not hard to see, you fared better than me
Everything
You’ve taken it all away.
When I leave in the morning and I’m locking the door
I can see all the neighbours they stare at the floor
Our friends they seem busy well they never call
And I haven’t seen you since that trip in the fall
Did I mention the condo it’s still up for sale
Just piled up with flyers and old junk mail
Not so hard to see, you fared better than me
Everything
You’ve taken it all away
Do you think you’ll be gone long?
Everything is in our way
