[Verse One]
When I figure it out, will I still be here?
Or will I be a wandering ghost?
Will you read my eulogy?
Or will you go first, take a hit for the team?
Leave me sitting lonesome in the dugout wondering?
Well, I don't want you to do that
No, I don't think that I could cope
With such a distasteful fact
[Chorus]
That you're no longer here
Cause I want so much for the past calendar year
To erase like it never even happened at all
[Verse Two]
When I open the door, will I still see you?
Telling me to take off my shoes?
"There's no dirt allowed in this room"
Oh, what a wonderful tune
And in a delicate hue, I'd have sworn it was you
Like a catapulted moon on a see-through afternoon
When the drowning sun disappears
To make it an apparent fact
[Chorus]
That you're no longer here
Cause I want so much for the past calendar year
To erase like it never even happened at all
[Bridge]
When the cigarette dances and billiard matches
Are all a part of what you've become
Well, who's to say that you lost what you once had
When you were young?
Like when a spot opened up
I said, “I'm not too sharp at dancing
I'm better at romancing, love"
But I know you're the one I should be dreaming of
[Chorus]
And yet, I know that you're no longer here
Cause I've tried so hard for the past calendar year
To erase like it never
Yes, we erase like it never
Yes, we erase like it never even happened at all
