Since I've Been Gone

It took me by surprise

The journey in your eyes

Since I've been gone

Your hair grew out, found a new job

And you learned how to breathe again

Now your plants grow tall

Put off your missed calls

I've waited so long to reconcile

Keepin' starry-eyed with old dreams I've held on to

The lonesome front porch stairs

Have you just been sitting there

Since I've been gone

My wishful thinking

We'll chalk it up to a lack of warmth in younger days
