paid in quarters - 10v20

When i was younger i was
Never able to handle sleepovers
Cause i'd get homesick too quickly
I'd lie awake clutching an iPod
Playing back a mix of songs
That felt like home
And in the morning
Nothing felt better than coming home
And seeing my mom
Cause i knew that it meant
Everything i cared about still wasn't gone
Now i get that same feeling
Lying awake in my own bed
As i reach out expecting
To find someone who isn't there
And as my hands clasp
Empty air i ache for the warmth
That means you're here
I build barricades
Of blankets and pillows trying to simulate
Your presence beside me
But they're not solid enough
And they're far too cold
And they only end up reminding me
That i'm alone
