I think Absent is probably my favourite song on the record. I wanted to arrange it so that when it was played it live it could be used to “introduce” the different instruments in the band (i.e guitar in first, then drums, then bass).
This song was definitely an interesting challenge from a singing...
[Verse 1]
Is there ever really enough time to spend
With people that we love
Or is that just some platitude we tell ourselves
When we haven't done enough
[Pre Chorus 1]
It seems that I've consumed
All of the time I had to lose
I feel awful I really do
But this could not be further from the truth
[Chorus]
I think about you all the time
I want you to know that you are on my mind
Even in dreams I see the inescapable reality
If I could relive if I
Could try
Again
One more time with feeling
One more time with feeling
It's such a poor excuse
But honestly it wasn't you I was just lost
Trapped in my anxiety
I spent my life with no thought of the cost
[Pre Chorus 2]
Now that I've consumed
All the time I had to choose
The choice has been made for me again
At least I kind of got there in the end
[Chorus 2]
I think about you all the time
I want you to know that you are on my mind
Even in dreams I see the inescapable reality
If I could relive if I
Could try
Again
One more time with feeling
One more time with feeling
[Bridge]
You’ve got one foot on the other side
You’re moving down the tunnel towards the light
Already half way out the door
Please look back over your shoulder and say goodbye
[Soft Chorus]
I think about you all the time
I want you to know that you are on my mind
Even in dreams I see the inescapable reality
If I could relive if I
Could try
Again
One more time with feeling
[Chorus 3]
I think about you every moment of my life
I want you to know that you are on my mind
Even in dreams I see the inescapable reality
If I could relive if I
Could try
Again
One more time with feeling
One more time with feeling
