lyrics

its a strange place when you can’t show your face cause your buddy up and left and you feel like you’re left with nothing, man you’ve got nothing.
i promise you my friend if you just keep keepin’ on and let your little lady hen help you rise above this suffering, you’ll get back to living.

i’ve checked back and forth on your back forty, made two collect calls to your condominium in kaanapali
asked your gate guard if he’d seen you livin, asked your wine guy if he’d seen you trippin’
you’ve gone missing
you’ve been away too long (2x)

people come and go but the best go the soonest and the rest of us are left to figure out what do here without em, ah just miss em.
and you never can replace what the good lord takes away with a similar face or somebody who ain’t that somebody, who you’re still loving.

i asked the pastor for his best biblical perspective, mourn a month but don't let death infect ya
somewhere above you from a far off distance, he’s watching over us til the end of our existence
he sees you bleeding
you’ve been away too long (2x)

lost time, rewind...wait we cant do that?
what comes goes fast, can i get another chance?
lost mind, cant think, anything i wanna think
eyes blink, head’s numb, can anybody help me up?
unsure, whats next, whats next...let it rest

i know its gonna hurt for a long long time im sure, but if anyone can make it out and better make the seconds count, its you and me, and Leslie (endlessly)
i’ll be the reflection in your mirror to help you up and out of here but if you dont speak to my ear how can you ever expect me to hear you? hey i'm still here you...

i called the northwest porsche club and still no burnout, beginning tank full we all too soon turn out
i called your mother, wife, daughter, sisters and brothers, you feel the same pain as every other
dont go undercover
you’ve been away too long (2x)
