Absence of You

Maybe I'm learning to love you less

You said your goodbyes but I haven’t said mine yet

I laid down in the fire and watched it turn blue

As the cinders fell on memories of you

But I’m okay now, I finally figured you out

My rosy eyes are tired so I’ll close them for now

And I’m on my way

Out to paradise

There's a world away that's waiting for me

Waves always break

When you’re on my mind

now the absence of you sets me free

You’d leave me notes around the house, then you’re gone

Said Things like “I’m out”, “I’ll be late”, “don't wait up“

I let you keep your distance but I hated keeping mine

If you loved me you would learn to compromise

But I’m okay now, I finally figured you out

My rosy eyes are tired so I’ll close them for now (close ‘em for now)

And be on my way

Out to paradise

There's a world away that's waiting for me

Waves always break

When you’re on my mind

now the absence of you sets me free

And I’m on my way

Out to paradise

To a world away that's waiting for me

Waves always break

When you’re on my mind

now the absence of you sets me free

Now the absence of you sets me free

Now the absence of you sets me free

(ooh waa mm)
