in my absence
Another weekend, six pm
And my house is as clean as my calendar again
Long forgotten, I must've been
And I'm back at my desk, seventeen again
Always there but they never see
Are they busy or just bored of me?
I'm the first to say "I miss you", the last person they call
In my absence do they notice? Do they even care at all?
Wish I lived twice as close and wish I was half as cool
Am I once again just another friend they all know from school?
Through the hallway, just a ghost
I'm the friend you grew up with but never got to know
Asked for homework, but never "how's your day?"
I got older but this feeling never seems to go away
Always there but they never see
Are they busy or just bored of me?
I'm the first to say "I miss you", the last person they call
In my absence do they notice? Do they even care at all?
Wish I lived twice as close and wish I was half as cool
Am I once again just another friend they all know from school?
Am I worthy of being missed sometimes?
Am I more than just the useful kind?
And if they're honest and say what's on their mind
Would I even wanna know?
I'm the first to say "I miss you", the last person they call
In my absence do they notice? Do they even care at all?
Wish I lived twice as close and wish I was half as cool
Am I once again just another friend they all know from school?
Are they busy? Or just bored of me?
And my house is as clean as my calendar again
Long forgotten, I must've been
And I'm back at my desk, seventeen again
Always there but they never see
Are they busy or just bored of me?
I'm the first to say "I miss you", the last person they call
In my absence do they notice? Do they even care at all?
Wish I lived twice as close and wish I was half as cool
Am I once again just another friend they all know from school?
Through the hallway, just a ghost
I'm the friend you grew up with but never got to know
Asked for homework, but never "how's your day?"
I got older but this feeling never seems to go away
Always there but they never see
Are they busy or just bored of me?
I'm the first to say "I miss you", the last person they call
In my absence do they notice? Do they even care at all?
Wish I lived twice as close and wish I was half as cool
Am I once again just another friend they all know from school?
Am I worthy of being missed sometimes?
Am I more than just the useful kind?
And if they're honest and say what's on their mind
Would I even wanna know?
I'm the first to say "I miss you", the last person they call
In my absence do they notice? Do they even care at all?
Wish I lived twice as close and wish I was half as cool
Am I once again just another friend they all know from school?
Are they busy? Or just bored of me?
