Just tryin' to suppress some waves in my ocean of thought ...
While you are away ...
... it's hard to get through the day
Tell the music to be quiet
Make the sunshine go away
Don't tell me why I should bother
To go on with life today
Force the people's faces
To be forlorn and depressed
Maybe then they'll see how it feels
To be this over-stressed
Make the world feel lonely
So it might understand
What it feels like to me
When I can't hold your hand
Tell them to stop listening
I don't want them to hear
When I cry myself to sleep
At night when you're not here
Turn my dreams to nightmares
Gray clouded and blue
My dreams are all worth nothing
If I can't share them with you
Please hurry home quickly
Just so you will see
That you are my everything
Your absence is killing me
