lyrics

The eye to eye you've finally found is ruining my day.
And all I've got is open time, so I’m parking far away.

I know the breaks in the logo on your sleeping shirt. He just learned your middle name.

I'd live last year for a second time.
But I'm thinkin’ you're ashamed.

You said, it's fair of you to feel, that what we had was real.
But it's fair of me to free you from that notion.
And if your metaphor rings true,
Then I'll defer to you.
But we can't stay this way for too long.
We’re dealing with an Absent mind.
Only one of us at the table.
Absent mind.

One saved and the other the savior.
Absent mind. Oh, it’s long gone.
Absent mind.

The eye to eye you’ve finally found is ruining my week.
They’re pushing me to talk it out, but my heart can hardly speak.
I wanna tie it up tight, try to move along, cause’ that’s all that’s left to do.
Then I read your name in a stack of mail in the corner of my room.
Now you said, it's fair of you to feel, that what we had was real.
But it's fair of me to free you from that notion.
And if your metaphor rings true,
Then I'll defer to you.
But we can't stay this way for too long.
We’re dealing with an Absent mind.
Only one of us at the table.
Absent mind.

One saved and the other the savior.
Absent mind. Oh it’s long gone.
Absent mind.
