You said that space was what you needed Clear the clutter in your mind Honestly, I felt defeated But I gave you all your time And my hair has gotten longer Space for you is getting smaller I tried so hard to be what you want Changed a lot, yeah since you saw me Rumination, aching slowly Spent a year thinking it was my fault Joel, why'd you run away? You know that I wish you stayed I'd be lying if I said you don't cross my mind (mind) Time to time I wonder why How do you sleep at night? (How do you sleep at night?) And I'm chasing all the memories Slowly fading out the melodies Why can't the good outweigh the bad? Thank God, we never got those tattoos Or I'd be reminded of you And just get mad all over again Joel, why'd you run away? You know that I wish you stayed Mmm-mmm Mmm-mmm
