No One Was There

She is sure to talk you up
They let you know they care
They bring you drinks and envelopes
And he pulls up a chair

You start to unravel
The words can't come fast enough
The lights dim and flicker
As the meaning explodes

What you remember the most
Is her bright long green stare
She will carry your fairweather ghost
Until you’re halfway there

That's when you suspected
That's when you realized
That’s when you noticed that no one was there
You hollered at the house plants
Convinced all the furniture
Made an attempt to fall in love with thin air

What would make you miss me
If you don't know I'm gone
I can't recall the days we spent together
Like the memory went wrong

That's when you suspected
That's when you realized
That's when you noticed that no one was there
You hollered at the house plants
Convinced all the furniture
Made an attempt to fall in love with thin air
That's when you noticed
That’s when you realized
That’s when you noticed that no one was there
