[Verse 1]
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 way
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been away too long
I've been away too long
The page with the bookmark's gone
I've been away too long
[Chorus]
Sometimes when I'm sitting still
I feel the ground beneath me shake
It rattles like an earthquake
But I'm still here
I 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 here
[Verse 2]
We would walk one over the other
On the tracks lеading to your house
The night sky's pink with an orange glow
And I rеalize I've been gone for days
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been away too long
I've been away too long
The page with the bookmark's gone
I've been away too long
[Chorus]
Sometimes when I'm sitting still
I feel the ground beneath me shake
It rattles like an earthquake
But I'm still here
I 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 here
[Bridge?]
You, you've got this way
Of reaching in my chest
And reading what I've got to say
And I, I've looked for this a million times
And now you've cleared the mystery
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Sometimes when I'm sitting still
I feel the ground beneath me shake
It rattles like an earthquake
But I'm still here
I 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 here
[Outro]
I've been away too long
I've been away too long
The page with the bookmark's gone
I've been away too long
