saving your spot

we used to sit there with a pile of stones
throwing them hard
seeing which ones would make it farther
and that bench was halve rust
but you still loved it
sitting on the air if you must


oh, the trees are whispering your name
wishing you to come back and be here again
and then i see us on that bench
laughing and talking like we were best freinds
you were all i got
but now i sit here alone 
still saving your spot



sometimes i hear you in my head
telling me to push on ahead
telling me to slay the dragons infront of me
but what if when i tryed they all  got set free?
i see a sunflower blooming on the ground
they were your favorite always searching for the sun around 

oh, the trees are whispering your name
wishing you to come back and be here again 
and then i see us on that bench
laughing and talking like we were best freinds
you were all i got
but now i sit here alone
 saving your spot

what will i do
if there's no you
i don't wan't to sit on the bench alone
without the one person i've ever really known

what will i do
if there's no you
i don't wan't to sit on the bench alone
without the one person i've ever really known

oh, the trees are whispering your name
wishing you to come back and be here again
and then i see us on that bench
laughing and talking like we were best freinds
you were all i got
but now i sit here alone 
still saving your spot
