bryyn and rachel - what i do when you're gone

bolt the door, settle back into the couch
two days more of soaps and magazines
i don't find any meaning in the plants
or the bills or the outside world

i won't pay the bills, won't make the bed
call anyone, leave the house until you're back

late at night when i'm finally in bed
switch the light, i am home alone
i can't take all these noises
the tick, the drip, the whir of the fridge

i know that my worries don't make any sense
but to top it all off, my feet are cold


cactuses, palm trees,
i'm happy when you're close to me
car ride or curbside
it doesn't matter to me

and even if i lie
about what i do when you're gone
it means i love you
in my own pathetic way

off to work, i am looking for the car
but it's gone, guess i'll have to bike
i'm so bad with the traffic
there's no guarantee i'm gonna survive
make some pizza, bake some cookies for when you arrive
stare at the clock, wish that you were home
