8:35 and I'm a wreck hung the carpets out on the fence
See if the sun can clean them out I don't know why I'm overwhelmed
Feels like I can't do enough and you ain't looked my way in months

You speak just for applause now we don't talk talk anymore now
Grease up all around the stove burned out porch light and dirty clothes
I think "I can work this out" it's all smoke here from floor to ground


And all I know is I'd rather be alone of that I'm sure
And all I know is I can't live on talk no more unless it's my own


Promises with ease were never meant I had my own life before we met
Not sure what I can get back considering the way I left

I felt all swallowed up then a beginning that may never end
We spent all that damn time moving me to your side of life
But all steps I take I own they are mine and mine alone

I stare down time well spent time now irrelevant

And all I know is I'd rather be alone of that I'm sure

And all I know is I can't live on talk no more unless it's my own
