Empty Spaces

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's something here in the water Hear all the kooks outside The end of the line forgotten folk screaming out on a desperate night There's something dark about this hotel It just don't feel right It's got a history that I read about Left my stomach in a knot all night [Verse 2] I caught a glimpse of the sadness So shocked it was my resting face I know it was I who pulled the trigger But I'm confused and out of place It's so weird that we're strangers When you were all I had I've been trying to fill this void in me since I was a young lad [Chorus] It's gonna take a really long time To forgive all of my failures And fill up all these empty spaces [Verse 3] I had a call with my mother I've barely called her at all I can hear all the beeps of the machinery Nurses chattering on the ward I've got a stutter and a shaky hand And a fat lump in my throat But I was taught real good how to push it down So far down it's like a stomach bug [Verse 4] My friend sent a video of his five-year-old girl in bits Terrified she'd be alone someday, and I just fell to pieces He keeps kicking the can of mortality down the line There's a reason why Heaven was made up She'll worry her little heart out Just like the rest of us [Chorus] It's gonna take a really long time To forgive all of my failures And fill up all these empty spaces It'll take a really long time to forgive all of my failures And fill up all these empty spaces Hmm, hmm, hmm
