48 DAYS ADRIFT                  © 2008 Acoustic Ross

i don't know who he is but he's got a chance
to sweep right down and take you off my hands
and part of me hopes he might show up soon
cause i can't take one more night in this room

in time we grew but we took different shapes
it makes me think it's time for one more change
my exit strategy's set to begin
and time is running low on me again

   you're dry as bones and i'm an empty cup
   and lately all i think about is trading up
   i don't know where to go, i don't know what to say
   all i know is i love you but i can't stay

if i could craft a perfect breakup speech
if i could look both ways across my street
i'd find a way to tear this thing apart
and figure out how not to break your heart

this whirlpool is pulling me so hard
i've lost all sight of land, now it's all dark
this wasn't how this was supposed to end
from lovers back to roommates back to friends

   you're dry as bones and i'm an empty cup
   and lately all i think about is trading up
   i don't know where to go, i don't know what to say
   all i know is i love you but i can't stay

i don't know who he is but he's got a chance
to sweep right down and take you off my hands
i know it's wrong to take this kind of side
but i'm not strong enough to just say goodbye

   you're dry as bones and i'm an empty cup
   and lately all i think about is trading up
   i don't know where to go, i don't know what to say
   all i know is i love you but i can't stay
