The space between your frenzied feet, your socks and matching collar
So still
The scar Eliza left upon your nose, once always twitching
So still

What happened to the joyful leaps that greeted me this morn?
Why has the sound of footsteps died away?
You never were the one before to keep me up at night
Did I not love you hard enough to stay?

What's left of three kiss your facsimile, but it's pale imitation
So still
And Phoebe lays just like you did...
...I hold my breath to watch her breathing
So still

I never thought you'd be the one to set off on your own
Now I'm so afraid they'll follow after you
And without a word of warning I'll have lost my little home
I'll let them know tonight in case they do

I'll kiss them on the head now before I go to bed
And say "Goodnight, my loves, I'll see you again"

Now Phoebe's digging in the corner and Eliza won't stop drinking
And my heart stops whenever they sleep

The space between your frigid feet
Your eyes that stare beyond us
So still
The memories that lie beneath a makeshift sorrel garden
So still

And not a day goes by I don't feel the space you left behind
And I regret every single mistake I made
And what I wouldn't give for the chance to say good-bye
Maybe you heard before you slipped away?

I kissed you on the head before I laid you to rest
And said "Goodnight, my love, I'll see you again"
