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,

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,

And you have been gone too long,
Gone too long,
Gone too long,

Oh, ohh ohhh,
Ohh ohhhh,
Ohh ohhhh,

And you have been gone too long,
Gone too long,
Gone too long,

And you have been gone too long,
Gone too long,
Gone too long.
