An electric fan
That keeps me company tonight
It's nights like this make
It easy to forget
Why we used to fight
...It also makes it easy
To forget the words...
...Right...
 
An electric fan
That keeps me company tonight
It's nights like this make
It easy to forget
Why we used to fight
Love is an ember
Born to burn out
Well, I wish it would
No, I don't feel that good
 
Lately they blend
And blur with the scenery
Crowded rooms make it easy
To forget I'm lonely
The cat puked in my shoe
Guess it's fitting it would
But I, I don't feel that good
 
Regret's a useless word
Usually I try to avoid it
But sometimes it gets so quiet
That I can't remember the morals
But the part I can't admit
When you're thinking out loud
Is just a whisper
That feels like a shout
Oh, God, I made a mistake
I can't breathe without you
 
The cars driving by
They throw their lights
Against the wall
I should go to bed
Get out of this chair
And turn the TV off
Oh goody! I get to go to bed alone!
If I could get excited I would
No, I don't feel that good

Woke up to find
I lost my mind
Lost heart, lost nerve
I lost my favorite word
Emily
 
I take my cigarettes
I give 'em a smoke
Oh god
My heart feels froze
I've lost something it seems
I've misplaced my favorite thing
Emily
 
Where does love go
If it can't find a home
One moment here then gone
With no forwarding address
Love no longer has a house
Or residence in flesh
 
Take the keys
I get in the car
To out run this
Man I'd have to go real far
Where mercy wears lace
And bottles are thieves
Which of these took you from me?
Emily
 
I face myself
But there's this draft inside
Parts of me drowned
In perpetual tide
I wanna call names
I wanna throw things around
But no bar can buy
Forgiveness another round for
Emily
 
Where does love go
If it can't find a home
One moment here then gone
With no forwarding address
Love no longer has a house
Or residence in flesh
 
I go to the bedroom
Turn on the light
It's like an empty altar
No angel in sight
Religion with no temple
No place to take my worship to
No god for my eyes to see
No fruit to lay at the feet of
Emily
Gone
Gone

I went out a'wandering
Beneathe an unknown sky
The heavens all shook violently
He caught my eyes
 
Strange foot fell
It struck me to the core
My heart became a single flame
It wanted nothing more
 
Stranger, enter from the east
Stranger, step inside this place
 
Oh, I'm lonely
All lonely
 
The clock became a bullet hole
Cruel and unking
It hurt me with it's second hand
Alone another night
 
Stranger, enter from the east
Stranger, step inside this place
 
Blue, is that you ?
Knocking on my door this time
Blue, only true for someone else
There's no room inside this heart of mine
My heart has four empty rooms
Three wait for lightning
And one waits for you
 
I must have you all to myself
Feel the full weight of your skin
I'll hollow out my insides
To place you in
 
Stranger, enter from the east
Stranger, step inside this place
 
Oh, I'm lonely
All lonely

Under the shadows, forbidden and hot
Desire grows, more often than not
 
I'm sorry is a stupid thing to say
Especially considering it's not like I planned it this way
 
But I'm sorry is all that there is left of me
I'm so sorry this love left me hollow and made you empty
 
Maybe I could have loved you better
Maybe you should have loved me more
Maybe our hearts were just next in line
Maybe everything breaks sometime
Everything breaks sometime
 
It's hard to believe its boiled down to this
It seems so surreal this won't be healed by a kiss
It's hard to stare at you knowing you like I have
I used to feel so close, now I feel so bad
 
My heart's filled with thunderstorms and I'm ready to burst
And I've lost my favorite harbor and I'll weather for the worst
 
Maybe I could have loved you better
Maybe you should have loved me more
Maybe our hearts were just next in line
Maybe everything breaks sometime
Everything breaks sometime
I'm so sorry,
Everything breaks sometime
