There's room between your heart
And the chair where I've been sleeping
The place that we called home
Will someday watch you leaving
There's room between today
And the last time that I saw you
The pictures in my brain
Will fade until I lose you
If you would come back home
We could start all over
If you would come back home
I swear it would be better
There's room left in the house
There's food still in the pantry
I could fix you lunch
Or take you out for coffee
If you would come back home
We could start all over
If you would come back home
I swear it would be better
Call the surgeon.
Mend the pieces.
And the chair where I've been sleeping
The place that we called home
Will someday watch you leaving
There's room between today
And the last time that I saw you
The pictures in my brain
Will fade until I lose you
If you would come back home
We could start all over
If you would come back home
I swear it would be better
There's room left in the house
There's food still in the pantry
I could fix you lunch
Or take you out for coffee
If you would come back home
We could start all over
If you would come back home
I swear it would be better
Call the surgeon.
Mend the pieces.

It's about two individual's sharing a life together and one of them leaving, and the other waiting up in sense for the other one because he can't bare the thought of sleeping in "their bed" without her. Then it goes on to say that he hasn't seen her in awhile, and that as much as he wants to remember everything he loves about this girl. He knows that with time, he'll forget the little things about her. Like her exact scent, or the way her voice sounded or the echo in her laugh. He hates the thought of this, and wishes she would come back 'home' and knowing that if she doses 'everything will become better' this time.
There's room between today
And the last time that I saw you
The pictures in my brain
Will fade until I lose you
it's so heart breaking. i think this song is about his dying wife. and when he sings "the pictures in my brain will fade until i lose you" it makes me so sad. because you don't wanna forget. you don't want to forget how the person you love smells, how she laughs, the sound of her voice, her touch, the times you spent together, the memories that bind you together. but as time comes you start to forget => "there's room between today and the last time that i saw you". and you try to remember, but it will fade away with every day.
that's the part of the song that touches me the most.
sry for my bad english, i'm german..
Greetings from germany
This song details the internal bargaining for reconciliation that begins when both spouses feel exceptionally alone, yet the both occupy the building that once made a home. The opening line strikes an appropriately disharmonic chord to those who, while enduring the anguish of marital dissolution, sleep further and further from their spouse and closer and closer to the periphery of the bed until the edge becomes an edge too narrow. In the reticent hours of early morning the bed’s edge rejects the nocturnal drifter and the inanimate arms of a chair welcomes him; an island for the castaway set adrift by his deep remorse and his wife’s inconsolable soul-barricade.
This particular installment is a plea to the subject's estranged wife. Simply asking for a chance to "start all over".
This entire song is so moving- but the one line that sticks out to me is the "and the chair where I've been sleeping" line. This break up was due to cheating on the Male's part. I find it painfully ironic that he cannot bring himself to sleep in the bed that he cheated on his wife in.
"There's room left in the house
There's food still in the pantry
I could fix you lunch
Or take you out for coffee"
im sure we've all had that last ditch attempt to get that person to stay only a little bit longer
