Memorize the Dictionary - Leave a Little Space

You were rudely awakened and visibly shaken
Yeah, I said nothing but my mind was racing
The lives of a million descend on you
The weight of the world was placed there, too
It was pretty unfair, we're not allowed to choose
We've got to share this job and this is nothing new

Leave a little space for the air's embrace
The blank between the lines might help the hurt feel okay
You work a little, run a little, run out of paint
And it's here to make the little things slow down and stay with you

Distraught and taught not to question what's hot
But cold confusion will drain these sunspots
There's more to children than sons and daughters
More to this meat than the line for slaughter
You ought to get out, oh, you ought to get better
The outside's heavy but I'm light as a feather
I left her in the dark when there was nothing to say
Left happy knowing there's an end to today

Leave a little space, go at your own damn pace
The writing on the wall might help the pain go away
You work a little, breathe a little, it's more of the same
But it's here to make the little things slow down and stay with you

Don't act so surprised, don't act so shocked
You've got the key and I've got the lock
But neither one is willing to
Neither one is willing to choose

From high above the ground, it blends together
A blurry bit of chaos then we're gone forever
We may be close, but we're not all tethered
It's been a long time to wait to get better
I wait for you to climb up out of the gutter
You bowl a perfect game and then you write me a letter
Saying it's all right, if you give it some time
You'll find that things have a way of working out just fine

Leave a little space for a brief escape
The blank between the lines might help the hurt feel okay
You work a little, bleed a little, it's more of the same
But it's here to make the little things slow down and stay with you
