Eyes that meet to say farewell And linger through the sleepless nights A trail of days that end in tears But I can never be there The rush of hours that never seem to end What life has dealt, you cannot comprehend I am the absentee I know you're out there searching tonight I'm right here Another day and I cannot see through your eyes I'm right here ♪ How could I have known What preceded your own thoughts Wish that I could listen To what only speaks inside Every raging dissonance Each jarring note But I could never be there How can you think That I would understand When words just go around What the heart truly wants I am the absentee I know you're out there searching tonight I'm right here Another day and I cannot see through your eyes I'm right here ♪ I want to tell you Of the exploding light How everything is visible Moments before the dark ♪ I am never, never there ♪ I know you're out there searching tonight Another day and I'm not there ♪ Thrust with nails of conflict, anxiety and pain Through spells of anger, confusion and defeat I wish I'd see me here in front of you
But I am not here I know you're out there searching tonight I'm right here Another day and I cannot see though your eyes
I know you're out there But I'm right here Another day and I cannot see though your eyes Lead me right
