VOTP from Wren by Free Advice

Nighttime it lingers on an overcast day
I'm up a little later just in time to hear you pray
You say: Please don't lock the door when you go
I hate it when you leave me alone
Moonlight is tellin' me to just take my time
Get to floating outside and maybe clear up your mind
The cats in the garden all sleep
Pictures of the morning they keep in their heads while they doze

And the voice on the phone says hold on please hold on
I'm on my way home, but you're already gone
aren't you, aren't you?

My shirt sleeves are dripping now from washing your clothes
I nicked my knuckle on your zipper
and now its all turning rose
I soak in the tub with some bleach
It stings because you're still out of reach

And my voice on the phone says hold on please hold on
I'm on my way home, but you're already gone
aren't you, aren't you?

I wonder whether it'll ever measure all the miles, years ,winter's snow
Travel farther under mountains over hills alone
Alone, alone, alone

And the flicker in your eye says hold on please hold on
But you're bleeding my dry and I'm already gone
Now you, now you
