Sam's Song

I take a walk down to the shore

And I wonder how much longer I’ll sustain these steps

It’s been a month since I’ve been gone

And it’s been a month too long since you have graced me with your presence

I smell your scent on every single shirt I wear;

I find pieces of your hair stuck to my suitcase

I try to call but the reception here is weak

And it’ll still be three more weeks until I get home

I hope your waiting by the door when I get home

I don’t want anyone to see me here alone

It’s not enough to say “I think about you” now

But that was all I had

I walk the boards alone tonight and try to fill this empty space inside my chest

I took Atlantic home tonight and every neon light, and sign, spelt out your name

And every morning that I wake

I make a point to check the date incase I slept an extra day

I’ve crossed so many numbers out

But every time I count them there are so much more
