If You Didn't Go

If you didn't go away

I would have never had to say

Goodbye to the things that made me find

You're someone who had me for all of my time

If I had the chance to make it up to you

And if I knew it'd change all that I can't undo

Someplace inside this foggy head I got

Float three words I never really said a lot

If you didn't go away

I would have never had to say

Goodbye to the things that made me find

You're someone who had me for all of my time

Now that you're a stranger two thousand miles from here

I imagine you the blanket, my atmosphere

Even though the girl you got is a nice one, it's true (it's true, it's true)

She'll never be what I have to give if I still had you

If you didn't go away

I would have never had to say

Goodbye to the things that made me find

You're someone who had me for all of my time

I can't complain

You rest somewhere in my mind, you're like my faded coffee stain

A cassette plays back 'til tape runs out

You feed my reel, and then you wear me out

Quiet as the days are long

I looked for you, I wrote your wrong

If you didn't go away

I would have never had to say

Goodbye to the things that made me find

You're someone who had me for all of my time

I bet that California don't got sunshine quite like

The Florida beach after three o'clock rain when you're on your bike

Tip my cup to you for finding a way to the stars

And I wanna shine for the moon and the skies that used to be ours

If you didn't go away

I would have never had to say

Goodbye to the things that made me find

You're someone who had me for all of my time

If you didn't go away

I would have never had to say

Goodbye to the things that made me find

You're someone who had me for all of my time
