coming in closer and i don’t remember what the world looked like when i backed up to see if you heard me when i said what i liked a voice keeps reaching my ears are listening and i can’t remember what it felt like when i told you stories you used to remind me of later in the interim (chorus) and the moments i look back for someone who used to laugh and knew what they had when they had all of me i come up empty i come up empty i think i might be seen, all the joys and laughter and tears and pain and they swear they are gonna stay the same and i’m different somehow someway but behind them is a trail of uneasiness and behind me are hopes i never knew could be crushed to pieces so very small that they’d take my self-esteem crumbling along with them (chorus) and the moments i look back for someone who used to laugh and knew what they had when they had all of me i come up empty i come up empty what i have to offer looks like pittance and what is left of me is unrecognizable that i wonder if scattered winds have blown away all my reality entirely (chorus) and the moments i look back for someone who used to laugh and knew what they had when they had all of me i come up empty i come up empty
