Checked Out Early

[Verse 1] I counted pills in a paper cup Kept my coat on, kept my eyes shut The hallway clock kept chewing time Like it knew the shape of mine I left my keys by the sink Didn’t write much, didn’t think Just a note on the table's edge And a little blue line across the page [Pre-Chorus] If I call, don’t answer If I fall, don’t follow I’ve been gone in my head For a long time now [Chorus] My final days My final days Hold me close, then let me fade My final days My final days My final days One last breath, one last wave My final days [Verse 2] There’s a crack in the window frame Where the cold comes in and says my name I watched the sun on the dirty glass Turn gold, then gone so fast You still laugh in my old voice Like I made a better choice But I’m tired of the same old road Tired of carrying what I know [Pre-Chorus] If I stay, I’ll break here If I go, I’ll vanish I’ve been half alive For a long time now [Chorus] My final days My final days Hold me close, then let me fade My final days My final days My final days One last breath, one last wave My final days [Bridge] Don’t build a shrine for me Just leave the door unlatched Let the rain keep its receipt For the footsteps I won’t match I’m not afraid of the dark I’m afraid of hanging on So if my hands go cold Let the silence sing me home [Final Chorus] My final days My final days Hold me close, then let me fade My final days My final days My final days One last breath, one last wave My final days
