While I Was Away
Everything gets smaller each time that I look back
Can I believe I used to have to reach somewhere to hold your hand
Monsters in my bedroom closet shrink behind a crack
Everything gets smaller each time that I look back
Everything gets stronger as the years go by
My heart learned how to emulate, used to make me cry
My head learned how to face what I was too afraid to try
Everything gets stronger as the years go by
Time has a funny way of moving things along
I'll keep on running like that fish, I'm okay
Everyone got older, while I was away
My brother finished high school, my mother's hair turned gray
My sister started working and talking this far away
Everyone got older, while I was away
I got so much older while I was away
Can I believe I used to have to reach somewhere to hold your hand
Monsters in my bedroom closet shrink behind a crack
Everything gets smaller each time that I look back
Everything gets stronger as the years go by
My heart learned how to emulate, used to make me cry
My head learned how to face what I was too afraid to try
Everything gets stronger as the years go by
Time has a funny way of moving things along
I'll keep on running like that fish, I'm okay
Everyone got older, while I was away
My brother finished high school, my mother's hair turned gray
My sister started working and talking this far away
Everyone got older, while I was away
I got so much older while I was away
