It's like you never went away.
You've been gone for, what,
But here you are each day,
in my cup of morning coffee.
There you are, just swimming round.
With that stupid smile like yesterday,
and here I'd hoped you'd drowned.
Your dent is in the pillow,
and your scent is in my nose.
You're in my walk -in closet,
making cracks about my clothes.
It's like you never said so long.
Come to think of it, you never did.
And maybe that's what's wrong.
Cause someone killed your gecko,
And who drank all the bourbon
and ate all that Sara Lee?
and set your favorite chair on fire?
And who's the absent lover?
The blame is yours, my dear.
And it's weird the way you're here.
In ways you never were before.
I think I know you better
since you slithered out that door.
You don't know what you've got,
I could try that theory on.
And by go, I mean come back,
and by come back, I mean to stay.
It's the only thing I think
will make you finally go away.
Won't you just come home,
so I can leave this all behind?
Please get back in my life,
so I can get you off my mind.
Because I find that when you're here,
I know exactly what I missed.
I can sleep with you beside me
and forget that you exist.
I need you in your special,
slightly damaged special chair.
like I'm barely even there.
to forget you once again.
To fade into the woodwork
just the way you did back when.
My love, I need you near.
Cause the thing that I need so
That's to know that you won't go.
