Empty Nest

Did you notice
Did you notice
Our friends are running late
So time to misbehave
When they get here
Will they see clear
The seeds that we have sewn
And speak of how they’ve grown

I will be here when they leave
I’ll be rolling up my sleeves

Bitter taste of
Time wasted
A tickle in your throat
Nothing new to note
All fetters
Are feathers
That keep us in suspense
They break and then they mend

I wanna see you in your dreams
I need something new to see
I will see this to the end
I have no need to pretend

Should’ve known
I’ve gotta get this off my chest
I'm allowed
To keep around this empty nest
It’s so much
To clean up a clever mess
Should’ve known
Should’ve known

Did you notice
Did you notice
Our friends are running scared
And seem so unprepared
How’d we get here
How’d we get here
Did we get here on our own
Have we always been alone

I wanna hear you when you speak
I have no need to critique
I wanna keep this winning streak
I have no breath underneath

Sit in a room right next to you
And now I wanna leave
Sit in a room right next to you
And now I wanna leave

Should’ve known
I’ve gotta get this off my chest
I'm allowed
To keep around this empty nest
It’s so much
To clean up a clever mess
Should’ve known
Should’ve known

Did you notice
Did you notice
I'm feeling uninspired
I think I'm crossing wires
How’d we get here
How’d we get here
Did we get here on our own
The seeds are overgrown

I wanna see this to the end
I have no need to pretend

Should’ve known
I’ve gotta get this off my chest
I'm allowed
To keep around this empty nest
It’s so much
To clean up a clever mess
Should’ve known
Should’ve known

Sit in a room right next to you
And now I wanna leave
Sit in a room right next to you
And now I wanna leave
Sit in a room right next to you
And now I wanna leave
Sit in a room right next to you
And now I wanna leave
Sit in a room right next to you
And now I wanna leave
