EMPIRE! EMPIRE! (I WAS A LONELY ESTATE) LYRICS

"The Promise That Life Can Go On No Matter How Bad Our Losses"

On New Year's Eve last December,
I was out on tour playing a show at the Fire in Philadelphia

while you were all alone at home
the only body occupying our lonely apartment

I watched the TV through the window from outside the bar
and counted down the seconds to the new year with you
over the phone

But I couldn't kiss you at midnight
I couldn't hold you in my arms

The sound of your voice was weighted,
like the way a branch heavy with snow bows down
before it breaks

Is this still worth putting our lives on hold for?
