Idlewild – Gone Too Long lyrics

How did I find myself in a world
I can’t see through
And I’m standing right beside you
I’m hoping that you don’t move

Blocking our views so they don’t get older
But you keep on moving over
You become part of the view
And part of the world that I see through

And you have been gone too long
Gone too long
Gone too long

You need everything in moderation
Even moderation
Under a sunless western sky
You put toothpaste under your eyes
To make yourself cry at your graduation
And the further and further away we move
From ourselves my name still depends on you

And you have been gone too long
Gone too long
Gone too long
