There's no such thing as a truly shared reality Billions of universes on this planet alone You've been 1,500 miles away from me for so long I don't even know if we're ever gonna see this place the same again Everything is different now The flowers on my porch died Everything is different now The power never goes out Everything is different now I've got much clearer skin Everything is different now I've stopped counting you in And every time someone calls and they ask how you've been I can say I don't know and really mean it this time And they ask where you moved I just say somewhere far Out of state but I can't remember which one Everything is different now You'll see it if you come home The leaves have changed but not like how they do every fall I know you think that we've all stayed the same but you're wrong How we've grown, how we've loved, dyed out hair, pierced our noses If you come we'll take a walk on the trail we used to run I'll show you how the trees have gotten a little bluer Since you've been gone Since you've been gone
