In the sand, in my imagination
There's a boy who's hanging in the shade.
Baseball cap, turned around backwards
Flip flopped feet, moving my way I've been away too long
I've been away too long
The page with the bookmark's gone
I've been away too long Sometimes when I'm sitting still
I feel the ground beneath me shake
It rattles like an earthquake
But I'm still here I know I should go, I should give it a try
I've gotta get against the grain
But I'm battling myself again
And I'm still here We would walk one over the other
On the tracks leading to your house
The night sky's pink with and orange glow
And I realize I've been gone for days I've been away too long
I've been away too long
The page with the bookmark's gone
I've been away too long Sometimes when I'm sitting still
I feel the ground beneath me shake
It rattles like an earthquake
But I'm still here I know I should go, I should give it a try
I've gotta get against the grain
But I'm battling myself again
And I'm still here You, you've got this way
Of reaching in my chest,
And reading what I've got to say And I, I've looked for this a million times
And now you've cleared the mystery Sometimes when I'm sitting still
I feel the ground beneath me shake
It rattles like an earthquake
But I'm still here I know I should go, I should give it a try
I've gotta get against the grain
But I'm battling myself again
And I'm still here I've been away too long
I've been away too long
The page with the bookmark's gone
I've been away too long
