On Peak Hill

[Verse 1] The rain fell hard on the roofs that day You telephone from far away I see the ocean from my room All I could say was "are you coming home soon? The static whisper in my ear But in a moment your voice was clear "I need some time," you said to me That's when I knew you were going to make me lonely [Chorus][x2] You were going to make me wish for the time right before I was born When every living breath was another new dawn Like the time I was 5 at the top of Peak Hill And the wind almost took me away [Verse 2] I walk awhile before I sleep, count the secrets that I keep I hope for more, I know for sure I fall apart before I weep I disconnect the telephone cause I can choose to be alone I'll get more done, I'll have some fun, pretend you're not the only one [Chorus][x2]
