Backseat Goodbye - Old Clothes Atlantic lyrics

rate me

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
