Sometimes I wake up early to say goodbye
Just in case you don't come back.
I know the coffee leaves by car,
Because it goes fast really far.

Then that's where you are.
And soon the room can't tell you were here,
And there's dust in my hair
And dusty air has gone crazy for something late in the year,

And water everywhere.
Sometimes I wake up early to say hello,
Tell you everything you already know.
So early I start watching the bed,

Where we are attacked and we are one.
We come all undone.
When I come around,
Some lost and some found,

I know you'll be here on the ground when I come around.
I'll come around come around come around then I'll go around.
Very Emergency, SOS.

    There's a video?! I've been thinking ever since I heard this song, "They should really make a video for this!"

    yeah, seriously...I think this song has the best chorus the Promise Ring has ever written. it's so catchy and I love the single-note guitar riff and the chord progression underneath it. so rockin'

    LOVE this song. it kind of has a nostalgic feel to it, seems older. I like the, "tell you everything you already know" part. its sweet and kind of sad, like the song - libbs

    Dude's just afraid his girl's gonna leave him, and he hasn't got anything else. Also tpr swears by nostalgia(or they used to), everything they did up til recently is like that. All vaguely related to some childhood in some small town with fields, rivers, waterfalls, etc.

    I enjoy the song but every time I hear I think of how it's featured on the orginal Emo Game as "The Demon of the Third Album" check it out at emogame.com (play the original) if you haven't already
