Lost You For a While

You're here but you're not
Did you hear what I was saying
I lost you for a while
I'm without you when I'm with you
My jokes are not that bad
I lost you for a while
Did you go dancing in your head
Was everyone a stranger
Lost inside a feeling
Lost inside a meaning
Were they everything I'm not
Brave and without worries
No one needs protection
And that is your connection

I know
You shouldn't ask
Some things
Sometimes
You shouldn't ask
But I did

You're here but you're not
It's subtle but it's true
I lost you for a while
Is everyone ok
In your secret life
I lost you for a while
Is it summer in your mind
Is everybody laughing
I was not important
That was not important
I did not forget
The invitations that you sent
I said that I was coming
I know I rarely went

I should have held you
In my arms
I should have held you
In my arms
Like a lover
Not to hard
I should have held you
Nothing more
You're here but you're not
Not everything is mine
I lost you for a while
I'm bringing in the clowns
I'm going to do a little dance
I lost you for a while
Is it easier to breathe
Are the lovers made of honey
Is everybody shining
And no one's even trying
Maybe someday you can take me
Lead me by the hand
You could be the beacon
Show me what your seeking

I should have held you
In my arms
I should have held you
In my arms
Like a lover
Not to hard
I should have held you
Nothing more
I should have held you
In my arms
I should have held you
In my arms
Like a lover
Not to hard
I should have held you
In my arms
In my arms
