The single from Joshua Baez's upcoming EP 'Windows and Shutters.' Available March 8.
lyrics
I have been away
I never learned how to stay
But I’ve been lying wide awake
Searching for the words that I can say
You told me once what I thought was true
Only to find an empty wound
So please, don’t act like there’s nothing wrong
You know there is, but you’re already gone
Oh, I have watched
These buildings things fall
But you don’t seem
To care at all
But I guess that that’s what hurts the most
The fact that you had seemed so close
But also farther than I could reach
Just like a shoreline on the open sea
But I can only just regret
That I had only tried my best
But I guess that my best just wasn’t it
I hope you find what it is you’ve missed
But I know that you had never meant
To cause this pain; to cause this mess
But now I can rest my head
Now I can sleep again
I know that one day you will find your own
Someone to love, someone to hold
I only wish that we had had more time
Before the spring had come to melt the ice
But now the ground we knew has come and gone
Now the season’s change is done
But with the sun I will start again
I hope you find what it is you’ve missed
