The Ring

The ring around your finger
It used to be around mine
Short sleeves and some wrinkles
Was the shirt that tells time
The left side of my bed now
Is longing for your scent, and I
Hold the phone tight just to find out
They've abandoned all the landlines
Ask me, do I often think of you?
Sat down on that avenue
That we once through

But do you keep staring through the windows
To see the familiar shadows coming back?
If loving you was a dream, I would've never
Wanted to wake up ever again
'Cause right now
The ring's not mine
Hell slipped through my mouth
And you're gone now

The song playing on the radio's
Bringing me back to that night
We stole a kiss as the train goes
Ignoring them who passed by
The drops are on my steering wheel
The screams are my headlights
Hoping you'll see
Our towns are in plights

Now, do you keep staring through the windows
To see the familiar shadows coming back?
If loving you was a dream, I would've never
Wanted to wake up ever again
'Cause right now
The name's not mine
The one from your mouth
And you're gone now

And I'd fly northern hemisphere
Just to find out you're not there
Where the Blue Straggler is nowhere
So I burned ten packs of cigarettes
And the bridges we built
Just to lit up the small paths we take
Memories made, just to fade
I know it's too late now

Now, do you keep staring through the windows
To see the familiar shadows coming back?
If loving you was a dream, I would've never
(Never again)
Wanted to wake up ever again
'Cause I do
The ring on my finger was once yours like I was
The night we forget just to use
The promise that we've made
To lose what we take
For hell or heaven's sake

But right now
(Now)
The ring's not mine
Hell slipped through my mouth
That the thieves got the thing that we've fought
But the rings hold the thing that we've found
And you're gone now

Ooh

(The ring)
The ring on my finger
(The ring)
Was once yours like I was
(The ring)
The night we forget
(To lose what we take)
(To lose what we take)
(The ring)
(The ring)
