Where'd You Go?

(album: More Noise And Other Disturbances - 1992)

Checked the clock when I got home and realized I was alone.
Sat for hours by the window wondering where did ya go?
Couldn't eat or sleep at all took the pictures off the wall.
Paced the place as time moves slow and I'm wondering
Where did ya go?
Where'd ya go?
Where'd ya go?
I wanna know!
Lit a cigarette I couldn't smoke
Wound the clock until it broke.
Went to bed then took a shower, stared at TV for an hour.
Did the dishes, made the bed.
Read a book I never read.
Any minute you will show and I'm wondering where did ya go?
Where'd ya go?
Where'd ya go?
I wanna know!
I opened the fridge, I opened a beer, played a tape I couldn't hear.
Emptiness began to grow and I'm wondering where did ya go?
Watched the sun come up from the back stairs.
Thought about the last few years.
I lost control
I screamed, I cried
I punched a hole and went inside.
Packed my things, called a friend.
Wished this emptiness would end.
Wrote a note then tore it up, poured the beer into a cup.
Sat on the couch, drank it slow, wondering where did ya go?
Realized I couldn't stay, I grabbed my things and went away.
Where'd you go?
Where'd you go?
I wanna know!
