try not to get caught up, try to think like a machine
E                B                F#
focus in on the task, try not to think about what it means

lost without you
B
half dead


took my spot at the window, looked out at the road

dots and dashes of traffic like a message in code

and whole boxes of memories wrapped up at the curb

i sang songs to myself, didn't have any words


can't get you 

outta my head

lost without you

half dead


stole out to the backyard late last night

pine trees frozen in the silvery moonlight

rising like giants from the cold earth

what are the years we gave eachother ever gonna be worth?


can't get you 

outta my head

lost without you

half dead
