While All The While

Get out of bed, go downstairs
I put the TV on to catch the morning news
The furnace kicks on, I put my clothes on
Open up the curtains and let the sun shine through

I put my coffee in the console, get stuck at the light
While all the while, you're still on my mind

I see your work friend, I give him a smile
We both lie and say we should have a drink sometime
I eat a piece of cake, its somebody's birthday
I go back to my desk, look out the window for a while

At the smokers down on South Street, waiting around to die
While all the while, you're still on my mind

While all the while, the sun sets in the West
While all the while, the moon moves the tides

While everyone else goes on with their lives
I'm going on with mine

I take the long route, I drive by the high school
I go see Mama, get her out for a while
And in the hallway, and those old picture frames
There's a kid with a smile just like mine

And she asks how I'm doing, I say I've been fine
While all the while, you're still on my mind

Hell's freezing over, the whole world's on fire
While all the while, you're still on my mind
