about

Single from my upcoming album. Written and recorded over two days.

lyrics

Why’s my bed so cold? Where’s my mockingbird?
Something seems like its just out of place
I’m not sad just yet. The worlds kept me from that
But something feels like its so out of place

Antes up, my bets not good enough

Marie, don’t leave me just now
My hearts a burning bridge just waiting to come down
I’m away from you, you’re away from me
Please don’t leave me, Marie

This is where it ends. I can’t just pretend
There’s no such thing as taking someones place
It’s the hardest thing. Not caving in
When you’re so sad and I can’t do a thing

My best friend, this can’t be the end

Marie, don’t leave me just now
My hearts a burning bridge just waiting to come down
I’m away from you, you’re away from me
Please don’t leave me, Marie

If we could just get back to November
Take a break, forget September
If we could just make it all like new

Marie, don’t leave me just now
We spent way too long just to turn around
I’m away from you, you’re away from me
Please don’t leave me

Marie, don’t leave me just now
My hearts a burning bridge just waiting to come down
I’m away from you, you’re away from me
Please don’t leave me, Marie
