I know you feel alone
And so neglected
But I'm upset away from home
I can't help being pulled
In two directions
The ones with you and the others without you
As long as we are strong
Defining right from wrong
We'll be ok
I've been away so much that it doesn't mean
That I'm far away
Surprising you somehow
You misunderstood
I'm not going away for good
As my life gets busier
Yours gets lonelier
I promise I'll be back before you die
I've been away so much
But it doesn't mean
That I'm far away
The thought of you
Being there for me
Makes it easier
As long as we are strong
Defining right from wrong
We'll be ok
I've been away so long
But it doesn't mean
That I'm far away
The thought of you being
There for me
Makes it easier
And so neglected
But I'm upset away from home
I can't help being pulled
In two directions
The ones with you and the others without you
As long as we are strong
Defining right from wrong
We'll be ok
I've been away so much that it doesn't mean
That I'm far away
Surprising you somehow
You misunderstood
I'm not going away for good
As my life gets busier
Yours gets lonelier
I promise I'll be back before you die
I've been away so much
But it doesn't mean
That I'm far away
The thought of you
Being there for me
Makes it easier
As long as we are strong
Defining right from wrong
We'll be ok
I've been away so long
But it doesn't mean
That I'm far away
The thought of you being
There for me
Makes it easier
