It's the way People always talk about you when you're not around its the way That i feel the second that i'm back in town I never promised a thing I'm walkin' alone it's gotta be this way I haven't seen you in so long (so long so long) I know that you're home I think it's better when I can see you then i'm gone And it feels like dying it's 12 for you but it's 3 a.m. for me Another missed call but i'm not running away Believe me if i could i would stay I'm walkin' alone it's gotta be this way I haven't seen you in so long (so long so long) I know that you're home I think it's better when I can see you then i'm gone My perception is fading to blue Yet direction is stuck on you You can't wait You keep on anticipating it's so irritating Everything that i hate This is so brand new I'm stuck on you It seems i'm lying I try not to try But the days go by so slow you're Walkin' alone its gotta be this way I haven't seen you in so long (so long so long) I know that you're home I think its better when I can see you then i'm gone I'm walkin' alone it's gotta be this way I haven't seen you in so long (so long so long) I know that you're home I think it's better when I can see you then i'm gone And i'm walkin' away from you Maybe something way too soon And i'm walkin' away from you This is something so brand new
