I woke up, it was 4 in the morning  
Clear as all hell that you'd already gone  (gone, gone, gone) 
Your note said: 'Dear, you know I hate to disappear 
But the days are short and the nights are getting long' (long, long, long) 
 
And I just meant to tell you that I don't want to let you down (down, down, down) 
And I just meant to tell you that I don't want to get you wrong 
 
I think about now with my legs wrapped around you  
How many times before have you seen me run (run, run, run) 
It’s a cruel kind of twist that you’d leave like this 
Just drop my wrist and say: 'Well, that's us, done' (done, done, done) 

I was just gonna tell you that I don’t want to let you down 
Get lost in the crowd 
Seen or unseen 
Say what you mean  

You sent me your book which I gave half a look 
But I just don't care for and I cannot get through (through, through, through) 
But you're writing again and I'm glad, old friend 
Now make sure you write me out of where you get to  (to, to, to) 

I was just gonna tell you that I don't want to let you down 
Get lost in the crowd 
Seen or unseen 
Say what you mean 

Because we all want to be here now 
And we all want to be held down 
And we all want to be here now 
And we all want to be held down 

I woke up, it was 4 in the morning  
Clear as all hell that you'd already gone  
Your note said: 'Dear, you know I hate to disappear 
But the days are short and the nights are getting long'

And I just mean to tell you that I don't want to be let down
Get lost in the crowd
Seen or unseen 
Say what you mean
