Lyrics "the sun is peeking over the ocean and I can't remember how this felt but now I know you have to blur the lines we're waiting for fate to open up our eyes it's a long drive for a long goodbye my words are worthless and vaguely painted red what did you say to me boy you have nothing left to prove then what are you running from my dear secrets I've packed away that I can't even explain we can talk this out we can talk this out no we can't so stay away boy stay away will you stay away boy? stay away stay away boy stay away can you stay away boy? stay away my heart is, my heart is, my heart is an empty room my heart is, my heart is, my heart is an empty room stay away boy stay away will you stay away boy? stay away stay away boy stay away can you stay away boy? stay away can you tell me how we came to this so broken we never could be fixed how our memories just seem to swell the west coast is growing old while we are sitting growing cold and now it seems all we have left to do is sing my heart is, my heart is, my heart is an empty room my heart is, my heart is, my heart is an empty room"
