We used to walk there all the time

Up by the railway line

I try to go there, but it's hard

End up in my backyard

I'm here alone with this guitar

The paint is peeling off and I see every scar

Got half a song I wrote for you

And I got half a bottle left to get me through

Been waking up in daydreams

Waking up to the fact that I'm still here

And I know you won't be

I'm heading for another lonely year

Most nights you'll find me

Underneath an empty Midwest sky

Half-drunk and fading

Where I'm drinking with your ghost and I'm watching planes go by

And nothing changes but the time

Get stuck on the same few lines

I could just write how it went

But that's not how this one ends

I'm here alone with this guitar

The paint is peeling off and I see every scar

Got half a song I wrote for you

And I got half a bottle left to get me through

Been waking up in daydreams

Waking up to the fact that I'm still here

And I know you won't be

I'm heading for another lonely year

Most nights you'll find me

Underneath an empty Midwest sky

Half-drunk and fading

Where I'm drinking with your ghost and I'm watching planes go by

I'm finding out I don't do very well alone

But I know that you're not coming home

I'm finding out I don't do very well alone

But I know that you're not coming home
