You’d been gone so long you could have been dead 
Piles of books you bought but never read 
Paint a still life of your side of the bed 
Patti Smith poems, a hair tie and some vitamins 
There’s only so much you can say in a text 
Reading between the lines is hazardous 
A slow reply can really mess with your head 
I was Feelin’ Kinda Free 
Now I’m Desperate. 

Oh god I forgot myself 
Oh god I forgot my health 
I seen it coming but it’s too late now 
Oh god, oh god, I forgot myself 

I was shooting for a different score 
My head, my heart, the way, the open door 
Like a fly up against the window 
The open sky, so close, I’ll never know 
See my reflection staring back in the glass 
I’m getting older 
I know, that things don’t last 
For all the time I spend worrying 
Most things they never happen. 

Oh god I forgot myself 
Oh god I forgot my health 
I seen it coming but it’s too late now 
Oh god, oh god, I forgot myself 

You’re riding round the world 
You’re doing this and you’re signing that 
The facts are that you’re there and I’m here 
When you’re gone too long I become an idea 
I’m driving in my car 
Your song comes on the radio 
And I remember what I always forget 
Loneliness.
