Silversun Pickups - Empty Nest Lyrics

 Silversun Pickups - Empty Nest Lyrics

Did you notice

Did you notice

our friends are running late

So time to misbehave

When they get here

Will they see clear

The seeds that we have sewn

And speak of how they’ve grown


I will be here when they leave 

I’ll be rolling up my sleeves


Bitter taste of 

time wasted

A tickle in your throat

Nothing new to note

All fetters

are feathers

That keep us in suspense

They break and then they mend


I wanna see you in your dreams

I need something new to see

I will see this to the end

I have no need to pretend


Should’ve known

I’ve gotta get this off my chest

I’m allowed

to keep around this empty nest

It’s so much

to clean up a clever mess

Should’ve known

Should’ve known


Did you notice

Did you notice

our friends are running scared

And seem so unprepared

How’d we get here

How’d we get here

Did we get here on our own

Have we always been alone


I wanna hear you when you speak

I have no need to critique

I wanna keep this winning streak

I have no breath underneath


Sit in a room right next to you

And now I wanna leave

Sit in a room right next to you

And now I wanna leave


Should’ve known

I’ve gotta get this off my chest

I’m allowed

to keep around this empty nest

It’s so much

to clean up a clever mess

Should’ve known

Should’ve known


Did you notice

Did you notice

I’m feeling uninspired

I think I’m crossing wires

How’d we get here

How’d we get here

Did we get here on our own

The seeds are overgrown


I wanna see this to the end

I have no need to pretend


Should’ve known

I’ve gotta get this off my chest

I’m allowed

to keep around this empty nest

It’s so much

to clean up a clever mess

Should’ve known

Should’ve known


Sit in a room right next to you

And now I wanna leave

Sit in a room right next to you

And now I wanna leave

Sit in a room right next to you

And now I wanna leave

Sit in a room right next to you

And now I wanna leave

Sit in a room right next to you

And now I wanna leave
