Absentee Lyrics by Thank You Scientist

Maps of Non-Existent Places

2012

[Intro]
Waiting for someone to show me, but I won't hold my breath
Nothing left, no control, only pictures of someone I used to know
And I gave it all away, and I can't take it back
Here I am, tornado
[Verse 1]
Every perfect day yet to come, I would sacrifice for one
One more moment with you (Trade it all away)
Because I don't want to waste another day
Won't you come in from the rain
Because you could be the most beautiful thing to me
[Chorus]
You're worried now with this hurt in your hand
So strange here, I don't know the meaning
But who cares to know?
And all I can say - you know that it's true
[Verse 2]
I said all I could say
Would you do it again, would you stand on your own?
Leaving me right there, would you? That's my rolling stone
Come on, let's do it again, you had enough on your own
Cause maybe there's something left to find
Cause I've been searching for something left behind
Would you do it again? Could we do it again?
Would you do it again?
You and I are taking off
[Chorus]
You're worried now with this hurt in your hand
So strange here, I don't know the meaning
But who cares to know?
All I can say - you know that
It's you who means all the world to me
[Bridge]
I know this is where I belong
Forget the warning signs - I know who you are, and I'm fine
[Verse 3]
Waiting for someone
Waiting for someone
Waiting for someone, waiting for someone
I know we are, we are
I know we are, we are
I know we are, we are
I know we are, we are
You know we are wrong
[Chorus]
You're worried now with this hurt in your hand
So strange here, I don't know the meaning
But who cares to know?
Who cares to know?
Can you hear me calling you home, you home?
Got to know that I've been calling you home, you home
