Split Screen Sadness

And I don't know where you went when you left me but; Says here in the water you must be gone by now. I can tell somehow. One hand on the trigger of a telephone. Wondering when the call comes. Where you say it's alright, You got your heart right. Maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and Wait on the porch 'til you come back home. Oh, right. I can't find a flight. We share the sadness, Split screen sadness. Two wrongs make it all alright tonight.

All you need is love is a lie cause, We had love but we still said goodbye. Now we're tired, battered fighters. And it stings when it's nobody's fault Cause there's nothing to blame at the drop of your name, It's only the air you took and the breath you left. Maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and Wait on the porch 'til you come back home. Oh, right. I can't find a flight. So I'll check the weather wherever you are Cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight. It might be my only right. We share the sadness, Split screen sadness.

I called Because I just Need to feel you on the line. Don't hang up this time. And I know it was me who called it over but I still wish you'd fought me 'til your dying day. Don't let me get away. Cause I can't wait to figure out what's wrong with me So I can say this is the way that I used to be. There's no substitute for time Or for the sadness. Split screen sadness. We share the sadness.
