Listen here and pre-order the album on vinyl, CD, and digital formats: You were looking away towards the trees There was a time you used to listen closer to me As close as the air is to the sea So close I could feel you breathe How we got here I’d say quietly As quietly as those same trees grew to shade One day at a time and further away Further and further away Now my hands are two empty cups Maybe I was asking for a little too much To keep the newness from wearing off For every start there’s gonna be a stop You’re leaving now through the hole of an argument I guess for awhile you’ve been looking for the exit You slammed the door so hard I still hear rattling spoons The sound of silence rings in every room That last talk left me a makeup rainbow of tears Turned everything blurry I can’t see a thing from here I tried so hard to make myself clear Life can’t help but interfere You used to lean in like I was whispering Any excuse to get near again I still miss the way you lean in What happened between now and then? And my hands are two empty cups Maybe I was asking for a little too much To keep the newness from wearing off For every start there’s gonna be a stop I was always a sucker for your wrist at my cheek There was a time when I was your everything And I tried so hard to make myself clear Some how life interfered And my hands are two empty cups Maybe I was asking for a little too much To keep the newness from wearing off For every start there’s gonna be a stop My hands are two empty cups Maybe I was asking for a little too much To keep the newness from wearing off For every start there’s gonna be a stop
