Story Behind The Song
I'm in a half empty house after my girlfriend has decided to move out east and go back to school. She took all her things
I thought, and then I found a necklace she had left behind in a bowl,in a dark empty room with the moon shining through the window.

Lyrics
Here in this empty room
My voice is echoing without you
"Cause you're long gone
Headed east for the fall
Hangin' out by the window moon
Wishin' 'bout things
That might or could have been
I found your necklace in a bowl
It's all you left
But it gave me somethin' to hold
It's somethin'
to hold on to
but I need you instead
Won't you come back home now
Shadows move on a windy wall
Changing Lovers into
Shapeless dancers
I knew we'd never have it all
We had enough and it gave me something to hold
It's somethin'
to hold on to
but I need you instead
Won't you come back home now
It's somethin'
It's somethin'
It's somethin' to hold on to
