A Place Where No One Goes

A Place Where No One Goes - Jed Davis

You belong

On the far side of the mountains

In the gold

On the line of the horizon

You belong

In a place where no one goes

Where no one goes

You belong

In an unfinished painting

Wrapped in plastic

Locked in a closet

You belong

In a place where no one goes

Where no one goes

Drawing you in constellations

Scorched in the dirt of a cornfield

Pushing the phone into it's cradle again

Again and again

And I'll never win

But neither will you

Every look a domino

And every sigh in stereo

And maybes dress as hidden yesses

Every time you don't say no

And everything's obsession

When you can't quit cold

And everything is muzak

When your life's on hold

Now I stare at the ceiling

And try to tune in

To echoes of something

That won't come again

This is where you belong

Sentenced to one night as me

You belong

On the floor in the corner

Reading this

Off an old sheet of paper

You belong

In a place where no one goes

Where no one goes

Writing our names in the window steam

Measuring time in creamers and coffee rings

Slamming the door getting on with our lives again

Again and again

And I'll never win

But neither will you
