Here's to my absent friends When will you be back again? Is it sad? I think somewhat To stay in the town where you grew up Though technically I'm a mile away I'm close enough to see the face Of every girl from my high school class Home from New York on dating apps #PRE-CHORUS Still, I'm glad I stayed Close enough to see my Mom and Dad watch the baseball game But nothing changed I guess that when you stay you also stay the same I've been so busy screaming into the void Never noticed I was making a choice To be just one more lonely sad boy Missing the point So cue the lights, then fade to black Maybe this time no laugh track Cause I'm done there, and I've been that I should be happy where I'm at #PRE-CHORUS But all I want Is someone who will wait around while I am gone Is it wrong? To have a fear of missing out on moving on I've been so busy screaming into the void When really I was making a choice To be just one more lonely sad boy Missing the point Wish it was easier done than it's said But honestly don't know what it is I expect Cause I never heard the void once scream back I guess that silence meant I should get over it Get over it Get over it Get over it
