I'm pulling wings off insects
 I'm peeling back my sunburnt skin
 I'll wait outside your bedroom
 I, I hope they let me in

 I'm filling your prescriptions
 The orange bottles stare me down
 They're standing at attention
 An army on your windowsill

 We're all waiting for good news 
 Hoping you [bad word] home soon
 We're all waiting for good news

 I've been acting like I'm strong
 But the [bad word] is, I've been losing ground
 To a hospital too crowded,
 summer winding down
 I hadn't seen a heartbreak until now
 I hadn't felt a heartbreak until now

 I grew up on your back porch
 And I watched the storms light up the clouds
 They hung like paper lanterns
 To guide the way back toward your house

 I've been putting off long flights
 Hoping that you'll be alright
 And I'll be there in the meantime

 I've been acting like I'm strong
 But the [bad word] is, I've been losing ground
 To a hospital too crowded,
 summer winding down
 I hadn't seen a heartbreak until now
 I hadn't felt a heartbreak until now

 If I'm in an airport
 And you're in a hospital bed
 Well then what kind of man does that make me?
[X2]
 If I'm in an airport
 If I'm in an airport
 What kind of man does that make me?
 What kind of man does that make me?

 I've been acting like I'm strong
 But the [bad word] is, I've been losing ground
 To a hospital too crowded,
 summer winding down
 I hadn't seen a heartbreak until now
 I hadn't felt a heartbreak until now

 Hadn't felt a heartbreak until now
 Hadn't felt a heartbreak
 Oh the hospital's too crowded
 The summer's winding down
 I haven't seen a heartbreak until now
 Well, I haven't felt a heartbreak until now
