The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a chance that I don't know you
Maybe I won't like you
It's a long
It's such a long
Lady it's been a long time
We were lovers in a different story
Can you duplicate it
Can we make
Can we make up
Can we make up the same time girl
Or have I been away too long
have I been away
I'm afraid to say that I've been away from you too long
You got a message that I'd be in town
I wish I hadn't sent it
I'm a play
I am playing
Playing with disaster
You're so close I almost feel you breathing
Making me twitchy, yeah
I want
I I wanna
I want to be wrong girl
Or have I been away too long
Have I been away
I'm afraid to say that I've been away from you too long
