Seattle Waltz - Benjamin Francis Leftwich

So, I understand it

Filling the space, it’s a lonely planet

I don’t deny that your love has got legs

But the film on repeat in the back of my head

Makes me slow to understand it

I don’t blame you for taking a shot at loving a lot

I would do the same, I get what you lost, we are sharing the cost

I know no one wants to be on their own

Is your beautiful house still a beautiful home?

Is filling the space any better than living alone?

I know the days are not what you were hoping

I see your tears drop into the ocean

Well, it’s better than nothing, you say

Who’s gonna shovel the snow anyway?

I know you deal with coping

I don’t blame you for taking a shot at loving a lot

I would do the same, I get what you lost, we are sharing the cost

I know no one wants to be on their own

But I share his blood, we can speak on the phone

Is filling the space any better than living alone?

And so, I understand it
