Split Screen Sadness

And I don't know where you went when you left me but

It says here in the water you must be gone by now

I can tell some how

One hand on the trigger of the telephone

Wondering when the call comes

You say it's all right

You got your heart right

Maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and

Wait on your porch til' you come back home

Oh, right

I can't find a flight

We share the sadness

The split screen sadness

Two wrongs make it all alright tonight

All you need is love, is a lie cause

We had love but we still said goodbye

Now we're tired, battered fighters

And it stings when it's nobody's fault

Cause there's nothin' to blame at the drop of your name

It's only the air you took and the breath you left

Maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and

Wait on your porch 'til you come back home

Oh, right

I can't find a flight

So I'll check the weather wherever you are

Cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight

It might be my only right

We share the sadness

The split screen sadness

We share the sadness

Split screen sadness

I called

Because

I just

Need to feel you on the line

Don't hang up this time

And I know it was me who called it over but

I still wish you'd fought me 'til your dying day

Don't let me get away

Cause I can't wait to figure out what's wrong with me

So I can say that this is the way that I used to be

There's no substitute for time

Or for the sadness

Split Screen Sadness

We share the sadness
