Locked Lyrics

There's a room in my head

That's been empty for a while

And so far I've been fine with that

It was filled for a bit

With posters, clothes, and records

And the love that used to live in it

Lock it up

There's a hole in my heart

That looks a lot like Boston

And I try not to look to long

Cause I swear if you stare at the dark then it starts

To sound like she's there laughing

And you'll find bright blue eyes gazing back at you

Lock it up

Lock it up

There's nothing here to see

Lock it up

Lock it up

Just some missing parts of me

There are rooms in my life

That I know I can't go back to

And there are facts no one has to know

See I logged miles around your apartment

I could write a book just about your carpet

And in my closet there's a box of what's left of my notes

I locked them up

Locked them up

Now I dream every night

That I'm stuck in O'Hare Airport

I'm on time, but I can't seem to find my gate

And I hate myself for leaving after dinner by the river

I'd rather pick a fucking fight with TSA

And they'll say

"Lock him up!"

"Lock him up!"

And I won't disagree

"Lock him up!"

I'll let them lock me up

As long as you're there with me

There's a room in my head

I was happy when you rented

It still feels wrong to try to move your things

It was easier to lock the door and keep your key in storage

But I'm not sure it's done much good for me
