Staring at my phone, wondering if I should call home Mama always had the best advice Though she'd say it's in one ear and out the other half the time Focus on the road, let my mind drift to see where it goes It's always running back to you and I And how this silence gets me every time

If that's the way it's gotta be with us Then be aware I'm falling apart If that's the way it's gotta be with us, us, us, us If you can't see yourself with me, then what is left to say? We're falling apart Is this the way it's gotta be with us? Us, us, us

Staring at my phone, left a message 'cause nobody's home Who even has a landline anymore? That train of thought leads me back to before When love was not absurd, so convinced it's what we all deserve 'Til that silent room steals every word And now the sound of breath is all you've heard
