lyrics

I don’t know if it comes that much a surprise to you that I’ve fallen on my face
But the last whole year has been the death of me as life crashes at my feet
The last time I could even think straight I was on I-80 out running a hurricane
And I left that man in Cresco, Iowa on the Sir family farm

I know it’s no more
It feels like I never had it before
Where’s the life that I’ve known
Cause nothing has ever felt the same since I came home

And I know you left to make your life your own and then you wouldn’t need me
But I didn’t know it would be our last good bye as you walked into those gates
So I found myself out here in the winter cold wondering when you were coming home
Thinking about the last thing you said to me, “This maybe the end I don’t know”
