The Absentee

Throw yourself in front of this
Before it goes to long
Ask the questions that you want
When they all seem wrong. Because

I saw you first drift right by
I saw you first drift right by

Open up, let us in
When you shut down, you
Open up, listen here
When you shut down, you
Open up, stay right here
When you look down you slide

Keep the pace for every move
When it goes too fast
Take the place the absentee
If they're running back

Because, because

I saw you first drift right by
I saw you first drift right by

Open up, let us in
When you shut down, you
Open up, listen here
When you shut down, you
Open up, stay right here
When you look down you slide

Don't throw it all away
I can be your guide
Don't throw it all away
I can be your guide

I saw you first drift right by
