In the sand, in my imagination
There's a boy who's hanging in the shade.
Baseball cap, turned around backwards
Flip flopped feet, moving my wayI've been away too long
I've been away too long
The page with the bookmark's gone
I've been away too longSometimes when I'm sitting still
I feel the ground beneath me shake
It rattles like an earthquake
But I'm still hereI know I should go, I should give it a try
I've gotta get against the grain
But I'm battling myself again
And I'm still hereWe would walk one over the other
On the tracks leading to your house
The night sky's pink with and orange glow
And I realize I've been gone for daysI've been away too long
I've been away too long
The page with the bookmark's gone
I've been away too longSometimes when I'm sitting still
I feel the ground beneath me shake
It rattles like an earthquake
But I'm still hereI know I should go, I should give it a try
I've gotta get against the grain
But I'm battling myself again
And I'm still hereYou, you've got this way
Of reaching in my chest,
And reading what I've got to sayAnd I, I've looked for this a million times
And now you've cleared the mysterySometimes when I'm sitting still
I feel the ground beneath me shake
It rattles like an earthquake
But I'm still hereI know I should go, I should give it a try
I've gotta get against the grain
But I'm battling myself again
And I'm still hereI've been away too long
I've been away too long
The page with the bookmark's gone
I've been away too long
