If you didn't go away
I would have never had to say
Goodbye to the things that made me find
You're someone who had me for all of my time
If I had the chance to make it up to you
And if I knew it'd change all that I can't undo
Someplace inside this foggy head I got
Float three words I never really said a lot
If you didn't go away
I would have never had to say
Goodbye to the things that made me find
You're someone who had me for all of my time
Now that you're a stranger two thousand miles from here
I imagine you the blanket, my atmosphere
Even though the girl you got is a nice one, it's true (it's true, it's true)
She'll never be what I have to give if I still had you
If you didn't go away
I would have never had to say
Goodbye to the things that made me find
You're someone who had me for all of my time
I can't complain
You rest somewhere in my mind, you're like my faded coffee stain
A cassette plays back 'til tape runs out
You feed my reel, and then you wear me out
Quiet as the days are long
I looked for you, I wrote your wrong
If you didn't go away
I would have never had to say
Goodbye to the things that made me find
You're someone who had me for all of my time
I bet that California don't got sunshine quite like
The Florida beach after three o'clock rain when you're on your bike
Tip my cup to you for finding a way to the stars
And I wanna shine for the moon and the skies that used to be ours
If you didn't go away
I would have never had to say
Goodbye to the things that made me find
You're someone who had me for all of my time
If you didn't go away
I would have never had to say
Goodbye to the things that made me find
You're someone who had me for all of my time
