lyrics

Your aimless eyes reflect the color in mine
and remind me of the health we've wasted.
Hold me tight. Let's make the best of our time.
Remind me of the luck I've tasted.

It makes my stomach smile
It rests my bones
I haven't felt this well in a long while

Come back and feel the love we found when we were young.
Come back, I know you must be there.
There's a little more light in the eyes of the nurses that check on your vital signs
Come back, I know you must be there.

Don't trust the lines graphing the thoughts in your mind.
Machines can't tell us what you're thinking.
And your aimless eyes stare up at the ceiling at night
In that catatonic way you used to pray to God.

They're holding gasoline and matches to your throat.
You told me everything would be all right.

Come back and feel the love.
