Jay Allen – Blank Stares lyrics

Voicemail audio
Ok—I just was wondering what you were doing.. and I wanna.. um..I wanted
To say happy.. um..--

There’s a voicemail that I keep
I listen to it, just to hear you speak
“Hey Son..” turns to silence just like that
You know I love you walking by
Like you saw the phone in your hand and you didn’t know why
It’s crazy how you come and go so fast

Oh how do I get you back
If I could only seal the cracks you’re slipping through
Wish I didn’t feel so helpless when it comes to helping you
Hold on
So I keep holding on
To every little memory made of you and me
Every little glimpse of who you used to be
I know you’re still in there
Deep down somewhere I swear I still see you
Between the blank stares

It’s the first thing that I think about
When I wake up and when I lay down
It’s the last thing I feel crawling through my mind
I’m still trying to understand it
Sitting next to you holding your hand
And hoping you won’t fade away this time

Just stay a little while
Please stay a little while
If I can only seal the cracks you’re slipping through
Wish I didn’t feel so helpless when it comes to helping you
Hold on
So I keep holding on
To every little memory made of you and me
Every little glimpse of who you used to be
I know you’re still in there
Deep down somewhere I swear I still see you
Between the blank stares

It’s getting harder and harder
To watch you disappear
Oh if only farther leaving me in tears

Wish I didn’t feel so helpless when it comes to helping you
Hold on
So I keep holding on
Every little memory made of you and me
Every little glimpse of who you used to be
I know you’re still in there
Deep down somewhere I swear I still see you
I still see you
Between the blank stares
Between the blank stares
