vacation from love

my phone is off

I'm morning drunk 

the place is a mess 

I'm doing whatever I want 

no one's asking for dinner 

no one's getting upset 

I'm reminded again 

of who I was when we met 

vacation from love 

vacation from love 

vacation from love 

I'm on vacation 

how I've missed my friends 

how I've missed silence 

those thoughts that just don't come 

when you're next to someone 

I'm writing a lot 

catching up on smut 

my dreams have returned 

telling me: watch out 

vacation from love 

vacation from love 

vacation from love 

I'm on vacation 

you fell in love with a loner 

you fell in love with a stoner 

you want to see me everyday 

and still expect a boner 

miserable couples on the bus 

we used to say: thank god that's not us 

now I'm hiding out 

trying to figure it out 

vacation from love 

vacation from love 

vacation from love 

I'm on vacation 

I keep picturing your face 

in the hall at my old place 

when I'd open the door 

I couldn't ask for more 

but new silence brings 

joy like once brought company 

when loneliness sets in 

do it all again 

vacation from love 

vacation from love 

vacation from love 

I'm on vacation 

it may be a sad fate 

for one who needs so much space 

but the wiring is done 

maybe I'll find the right one 

again I've done something wrong 

you're mad that I don't respond 

but I'm on vacation 

vacation from love 

vacation from love 

vacation from love 

vacation from love 

I'm on vacation
