You see my clothes on the floor
And that's how you know I'm home
And I know it's been a while but I won't be here for long
I tell you where I stayed and what's been going on
And it's bittersweet 'cause I wish you could've seen
And by the way
If I go, it doesn't mean I didn't wanna stay
'Cause if I need space
Doesn't mean hate
Doesn't erase all the things I said I'd do
And if I need time
Doesn't mean I'm saying goodbye
And when it's falling all around me
And I don't know what to do
I think about you and it's alright
So if I need space
Doesn't mean hate
Doesn't erase

I know I said this last time
I'll say it again out of guilt
When things slow down, I'll be back but they never will
I feel the years slip away
I can tell it's movin' fast
And it's so fleeting, so we save it in a photograph
And by the way
If I go, it doesn't mean I didn't wanna stay
'Cause if I need space
Doesn't mean hate
Doesn't erase all the things I said I'd do
And if I need time
Doesn't mean I'm saying goodbye
And when it's falling all around me
And I don't know what to do
I think about you and it's alright
So if I need space
Doesn't mean hate
Doesn't erase

When it rains in Highland Park
When I'm walking after dark
When I see your favorite car
I miss you
When I see a shooting star
Are you looking back at all
Are you there 'cause after all
I miss you
'Cause if I need space
Doesn't mean hate (doesn't mean)
Doesn't erase all the things I said I'd do
And if I need time (time)
Doesn't mean I'm (I'm) saying goodbye
