Absentee Lyrics by Jack Campbell

2013

[Verse 1]
Love without anxiety
It's like love, except you're free

[Pre-Chorus]
And I can't go back
They'll eat me alive
If it came to that
I wouldn't even try

[Chorus]
And that would be it for me
My heart's another absentee
I'm there for no one, it's not like anyone would give a damn
But I'm trying to stick it to Freud
I'm lyin' low and I'm fillin' that void
With anything that I can show to prove I'm not a waste of space

[Post-Chorus]
I don't need you to be proud of me
I just want to you to see
What I can do when you leave

[Verse 2]
Love without the wobbly knees
It may not be as exciting

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'd take it any day
I prefer the lower heart rate
That comes to me
Of my family

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
And that could be anyone
For all I care
No I just don't wanna be alone
I might cause myself a loss of blood
Or a loss of hair
But you can never make me pick up the phone

[Post-Chorus]
But that doesn't mean
Your love has got to be
Lost on me
