It’s been twenty-seven days since I last was home
Well I’ve been home for every day but I’ve been living home alone
And so home doesn’t feel quite right no more
I drank twenty-seven bottles tried to drown my bones
I left twenty-seven messages on your old phone
But I know you don’t listen anymore
Where and why did you go away
It’s your same old voice that keeps me here
You’re not here right now, it seems you haven’t been for years

it feels I’m years away from getting over twenty seven days
Play the records that we’d cry to
I’ve still got my tears but I’m missing you
I know that it’s been too long but I’ll still play twenty-seven songs
I wish you were here to sing along
Instead he’s got his and now you’re gone
So which of my favorite songs are you sleeping with him tonight
Makes twenty-seven days since you moved on

I wrote twenty-seven songs with no rhythm or rhyme
I used 26 letters 27 times
And I think I’m going crazy, I’ll keep saying I’m fine
It’s too late, I know and I’m
Rolling over and over still counting sheep
It’s been twenty-seven hours since I got some sleep
‘Cause I know you’re sleeping sweetly without me
How does he treat you when you cry
Does he beam and make you smile when he wipes the tears aside
No one is here with me to wipe my tears
You’re never coming back, no matter how many long years

it feels I’m years away from getting over twenty seven days
Play the records that we’d cry to
I’ve still got my tears but I’m missing you
I know that it’s been too long but I’ll still play twenty-seven songs
I wish you were here to sing along
Instead he’s got his and now you’re gone
So which of my favorite songs are you sleeping with him tonight
Makes twenty-seven days since you moved on

Why did everything we had just seem to wash away
I always thought we’d make it in this world and be okay
But the world’s led us astray
With twenty-seven days

it feels I’m years away from getting over twenty seven days
Play the records that we’d cry to
I’ve still got my tears but I’m missing you
I know that it’s been too long but I’ll still play twenty-seven songs
I wish you were here to sing along
Instead he’s got his and now you’re gone
So which of my favorite songs are you sleeping with him tonight
Makes twenty-seven days since you moved on

Twenty-seven days since you went away
Twenty-seven more and I’ll be okay
And this house isn’t lonely so I think I’ll stay
I’m getting better day by day

Twenty-seven days are coming to an end
My broken bones and heart are starting to mend
I’m not by myself, there’s no need to pretend
You’re never all alone when you’ve got true friends


And I think that I’m okay, I’m getting over twenty seven days
Play the records that we’d cry to
But now I smile and sing the tunes
I know that it’s been too long and I’ll still play twenty-seven songs
I don’t need you to sing along
My voice is proud and much too strong
So which of my favorite songs am I sleeping with peace tonight
Makes twenty-seven days since we moved on
