Gone Too Long

[Verse 1]
Deja vu tripped you in your strut
Nostalgic dreams can mess you up
A bitter cold sense of warmth
Vague familiar ghost
Fly in circle around your head
Bringing back your hope up from the dead
I tend to forget, I tend to forget
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Wish I could say knew I was wrong
I've been gone for way too long
Write to myself a prodigal song
I've been gone for way too long

[Verse 2]
Away from yourself you strayed too far
Memories trapped in VCRs
The taste of light in words you write are brief escapes

Somehow got lost, somewhere I did
Such innocence when we were kids
I tend to forget, I tend to forget
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Wish I could say knew I was wrong
I've been gone for way too long
Write to myself a prodigal song
I've been gone for way too long

[Bridge]
High and low
I imagine inside of my soul
Hidden in the basement hangs a rose, pastel painted picture

[Chorus]
Wish I could say knew I was wrong
I've been gone for way too long
Write to myself a prodigal song
I've been gone for way too long
