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

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

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

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, oh let more people in
I wish that I could go back to that again, yeah

Sometimes when I'm thinking about us
just looking at some photographs
I don't want to get you out of my head
I wish that I could bring you back
man, I want you back

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
I run up and catch the bus, almost miss it again
a window seat, and I watch the whole world rolling by

Sometimes when I'm thinking about us
I'm looking at this photograph
I wish that could get you out of my head
I wish that I could bring you back

I feel like my head's on fire
man, I feel like I'm drowning
I feel like the surf's going out
but I can't get the darkness dying down
forever, forever
[???]
man, why'd you take the shortcut
know how much I want you back

I feel like my head's on fire
I feel like I'm drowning
I want you forever
but now the [???] is gone [???]
I think I've accepted
forever, forever
don't need you for nothing
forever, forever
