Gone Too Long

How did I find myself in a world

I can't see through

And I'm standing right beside you

I'm hoping that you don't move



Blocking our views so they don't get older

But you keep on moving over

You become part of the view

And part of the world that I see through



And you have been gone too long

Gone too long

Gone too long



You need everything in moderation

Even moderation

Under a sunless western sky

You put toothpaste under your eyes

To make yourself cry at your graduation

And the further and further away we move

From ourselves

My name still depends on you



And you have been gone too long

Gone too long

Gone too long
