Phantasm

(album: Asking For A Friend - 2020)

Absentee
The last place that you'd wished for her to be
Making off with a heart
Was a feeling that he had
But it's not the way she'd wanted it to be
These lovely little hands now ripping him apart

Still too young to not have cared
He wanted you
And for my last try, if I told you I cry
Darling would you come back, make me alright?

The afternoon
And saw yourself doing things you'd surely never do
He won't let him let go enough of that bit to change
And it's not the way you'd wanted to fall
She made him feel as though he'd never grown up at all

Still too young to not have cared
He wanted you
What's been done, you wouldn't dare, yeah
He wanted you
And for my last try, if I told you I cry
Darling would you come back, make me alright?
Make me alright

He drove away
And her lips fell oh quite serious, aren't they?
When you said it all but feels like there's much more to say
And though the phantasm got you
But something tells me that you're not far
Something tells me that you're not far away
