Lyrics
"the sun is peeking over the ocean
and I can't remember how this felt 
but now I know you have to blur the lines 
we're waiting for fate to open up our eyes 
it's a long drive for a long goodbye 
my words are worthless and vaguely painted red 
what did you say to me boy 
you have nothing left to prove 
then what are you running from my dear 
secrets I've packed away that I can't even explain 
we can talk this out 
we can talk this out 
no we can't so
stay away boy 
stay away 
will you stay away boy?
stay away 
stay away boy 
stay away 
can you stay away boy?
stay away 
my heart is, my heart is, my heart is an empty room 
my heart is, my heart is, my heart is an empty room 
stay away boy 
stay away 
will you stay away boy?
stay away 
stay away boy 
stay away 
can you stay away boy?
stay away 
can you tell me how we came to this 
so broken we never could be fixed 
how our memories just seem to swell
the west coast is growing old 
while we are sitting growing cold and now it seems all we have left to do is sing 
my heart is, my heart is, my heart is an empty room 
my heart is, my heart is, my heart is an empty room"
