There is room for you here
It don't matter how long you've been gone
I will always welcome you with a smile
I wanna sit down and listen to you
Take your turn and share your unrefined song
Did you ever find that paper crane
I placed in your palm?
I saw you there on the other side
You and me and a chain-link fence
Even though we were so close
It still felt like a continent
We used to play by the river
So much sand in our eyes
I'm gonna call those days sacred
No need to fantasize
There are so many dusty seats at my table
And I made this one especially for you
So I'm gonna save it even if we're never able
To have us a sit-on-down and talk this whole thing through
Slip-N-Slidin' in the front yard
Single file waiting in line
Full speed down the yellow lane 'til we crashed
Let's go and plant some white poppies
Along the path where we went wrong
Did you ever find that paper crane
I placed in your palm?
I saw you there on the other side
You and me and a chain-link fence
Even though we were so close
It still felt like a continent
There are so many dusty seats at my table
And I made this one especially for you
So I'm gonna save it even if we're never able
To have us a sit-on-down and talk this whole thing through
It hurts so bad when I see how I contributed
To the empty seats around me
But somehow they're exactly as they're supposed to be
There are so many dusty seats at my table
And I made this one especially for you
So I'm gonna save it even if we're never able
To have us a sit-on-down and talk this whole thing through
