I had a picture of what it would be like
if I moved back home in the spring
I’d get a job and a downtown apartment
And we’d find some space for your things
It’s eating away at me
All those moments alone
When I’m drunk and I’m hopeless and weak
It’s eating away at me
I’m incomplete
I had an idea of what it would be like
When all of my plans had been set
I’d sing you songs while you made me lasagna
And I’d kiss that spot on your neck
It’s eating away at me
When the woman I’m with
Doesn’t make me feel quite as at peace
It’s eating away at me
I’m incomplete
BRIDGE:
Well, this ain’t a turning around
This ain’t a lost-and-found
So look me in the eye and tell me why
I had a picture of what it would be like
if I moved back home in the spring
