It must be so easy to say,
"It must be so hard for you today"
The pharmacist put his hand on mine
But I think it was an accident
I tried to make it home by five
To set the table before you arrived
I heard you stop a mile away
And I saw the brakelights exploding
When I wake up I already know
The window's open and the room is cold
You dropped your coat as you walked out the door
But I don't hear your footsteps anymore
I heard your message twice today
Flight 23 lands at 2:38
I fell asleep on the side of the road
At a light that was red forever
Now the radio's playing your favorite song
You laugh as I try to sing along
Looking like a ghost in a red-eye print
While your voice becomes the traffic din
When I wake up I already know
The window's open and the seat is cold
You blew a kiss as you walked out the door
But I don't feel your breath anymore, anymore
These days are like a ghost-town street
I'm in a car next to an empty seat
People staring from the bars and stores
But I don't see your face anymore
