Lately my mind is always somewhere else
A sickly ache pulses behind my boney prison cell
Walking circles round a room, putting faith in wishing wells
I don't understand these things I do, but it makes me want to yell
What is happening to my brain?
I feel like such a fool
You haunt me every day
And there's nothing I can do
Because it's not you that makes me feel this way
It's really just the absence of you
And that's not something singing will change
No matter how badly I want it to
The escalator pulls me towards such a lonely place
My stomach does a fumbling dance as I see your distant face
Trapped inside a leather cup, rolling miles down the road
I'm surrounded by the tide that's supposed to be my home
What is happening to my brain?
I feel like such a fool
You haunt me every day
And there's nothing I can do
Because it's not you that makes me feel this way
It's really just the absence of you
And that's something singing can't change
No matter how badly I want it to
