Eights (Four Long Years)

One week before you left
I had a dream I would never see you again (Never saw you again)
In my father’s childhood home
I waited to hear what became of you (where did you go?)

I miss the days I spent in the window with your name on my lips
I live every day wondering what you would say if you were still here

And I wish you could see the man I’ve become
And I wish you could’ve known all the people I’ve met
And I wish you could know all the love that I’ve felt
And I wish you could know you’re my deepest regret

In these last four long years
I have been more alone that I’d be (than I thought I’d be)
I have read so many good books that I would like to share with you (I want to share with you)

I miss the days I spent in the window with your name on my lips
I live every day wondering what you would say if you were still here

And I wish you could see the man I’ve become
And I wish you could’ve known all the people I’ve met
And I wish you could know all the love that I’ve felt
And I wish you could know you’re my deepest regret

I want you to know piano’s not as easy as you always made it look (when I watched you play)
I wrote so many songs to try to capture exactly how I felt with you (I fell for you)

I miss the days I sang just to hear you tell me you liked my voice
I live every day wondering why I’m still here if you can’t be

And I hope you can see the man I’ve become
And I hope you can know all the people I’ve met
And I hope you can know all the love that I feel
And I hope you can know I will hold you yet
