So Long the Buildup - Royal Tusk

Coming home is different these days

The mess from when I left you remains

Coming home to empty hallways

Reminds me of how much has changed

I drop my bag, don’t hit the lights on

I kick my shoes into the corner

Undress in bed, don’t hit the lightswitch

'Cause that would make it obvious

So long, the buildup

How quickly we fall

So long with being

In tune with it all

Waking up is different these days

Get up and have a cup and bathe

Waking up to stop the sun’s rays

Reminds me of how much has changed

'Cause no one’s here to leave the lights on

Or kick their shoes into the corner

Get up and leave, just keep my eyes down

'Cause that would make it obvious

Oh

So long, the buildup

How quickly we fall

So long with being

In tune with it all

If I knew that you’d be mine

So long with winter

I’ll see you in fall

So long with making

Sense of it all
