Staring out the window
Of our tiny living room
The blue of the sky
Doesn't hit me like it used to
And the ground beneath the skyline
Hasn't felt the same in years
I can feel it
Like it's rising up to meet me everyday
I used to think that dying
Would happen all at once
You'd wait for your turn
Then the angels would call you home
But lately I've been wandering
Could it ever work that way?
Cause I feel myself leaving
A little each day
I can see the pieces
Of the man I used to be
Everywhere I go they're
Staring right back at me
It's like a puzzle that's been broken
And put back up upon the shelf
But I can't see the picture
Of the man I should remember from all those years
I used to think that dying
Would happen all at once
You'd wait for your turn
Then the angels would call you home
But lately I've been wandering
Could it ever work that way?
Cause I feel myself leaving
A little each day
I wanna break through
I wanna feel the light in the darkest parts
I wanna feel new
I wanna dream beneath the stars
I wanna be true
I wanna feel the beat of an honest heart
I wanna stay with you
Tell me the place where I can start
I used to think that dying
Would happen all at once
You'd wait for your turn
Then the angels would call you home
But lately I've been wandering
Could it ever work that way?
Cause I feel myself leaving
A little each day
