Old Clothes Atlantic

Backseat Goodbye

You're standing in the doorway 
I'm shivering cold, worried about the car ride over 
Your sister brought your old clothes 
I'm sure the atlantic can't wait to have you 
Don't forget to set your clocks back 
And please call me when you get there 
I'll leave the light on everynight 
Just in case if you get scared 
The look in your eyes was timeless 
When I said those words 
"I won't say goodbye, 
But please know I love you" 
Winter had left the windows frostbit 
So I drew some dreams I had on the ones facing the parking lot 
The sunrise reminded me of your smile 
And how the photos could never make up for it 
You say it's just miles and a few months 
"I'll be back before you know it" 
Well I'll be waiting here on purpose 
So don't you leave me guessing too long 
Darling, don't you go 
The months have faded slowly but surely 
The moonlit balcony hasn't been the same 
I've left the doors unlocked just hoping 
That maybe you might get back early 
I haven't slept a wink for eight weeks 
The voices outside calm me down 
I've done my best to miss the sunsets 
Because I miss you, my morning sunshine from the west 
Please come home soon
