Yeah

I wake up and count the days since you've been gone
I go out and make believe you won't be gone too long
run up and catch the bus, almost miss it again
a window seat, and I watch the world rolling by

It only takes a moment for the show to begin
a big dog is walking the man, got a big bag to fill
and Cha Cha's on the corner drinking her gin
not a worry in the world until she gets to the end

Always did your, always did your best, you said
I haven't smoked in years, but I still want a cigarette, oh
all the days and all the things we did
a park bench by the lake the first time we got lit

It only takes a moment for the show to begin
open up the curtains, and the two of us fell in
I woke up at the bus stop, we got (to) let more people in
I wish that we could get back to that again, yeah

Only when I'm thinking about us
looking at a photograph
I don't want to get you out of my head
I wish that I could bring you back
I want you back

I wake up and count the days since you've been gone
I go out and make believe I won't be gone too long
I run up, I catch the bus, almost miss it again
the window seat, and I watch the whole world rolling by

Sometimes when I'm thinking about us
just staring at some photographs
you know, if I could only get you out of my head
I wish that I could get you back

And the light of your head's on fire
and nothing could stop you
and the ideas are spinning out
the flames growing higher
but one day the fire grew down
you're staring at nothing
the smoke doesn't wake you up
I'm taking the long way

'Cause I'm like your head's one fire
nothing could stop you
and the ideas are pouring out
watch the flames growing higher
and I feel like my head's on fire
and nothing could stop it
although I wish I could bring you back
because I'm taking the long way
