{Verse 1}
My dog doesn't answer the doorbell like he used to
And that's fine by me, one day I'll go deaf just like he
What's the point of barking if there's a window made especially for you?
{Verse 2}
You're jogging down ninth street
And I look at you and our eyes meet
The only thing I can think is to honk the horn and maybe leave
For a few more weeks
{Chorus}
Now you’re retreating silently
Booking the flight for where you want to be
Pressurized waves envelop you and me
{Verse 3}
Words escape my mouth from my chattering teeth
As I draw out a thirty second soliloquy
You’re rightfully speechless
As I am driving you home
{Chorus}
Now you’re retreating silently
Booking the flight for where you want to be
Pressurized waves envelop you, your friends, and me
{Bridge}
And everything here is closer than it appear
So look around you and stop looking over here
I'm on your side
I'm on my side
And anyone who helps me get there is gonna be crucial to this year's other side
