Gone Too Long - The Rocket Summer

Déjà vu trips you when you strut

Nostalgic dreams can mess you up

A bitter cold sense of warmth, ache, familiar ghost

Flyin' circles 'round your head

Bringin' back your hope but from the dead

I tend to forget, I tend to forget

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Wish I could say

Knew I was wrong

I been gone for way too long (I been gone for way too long)

I been gone for way too long

Went to myself, a prodigal song

I’ve been gone for way too long

(I been gone for way too long)

I been gone for way too long

Away from yourself, you stray too far

Memories trapped in VCRs

The taste of ripened words you write, a brief escape

Somehow got lost somewhere, I did

Such innocence when we were kids

I tend to forget, I tend to forget

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Wish I could say

Knew I was wrong

I been gone for way too long

(I been gone for way too long)

I been gone for way too long

Went to myself, a prodigal song

I’ve been gone for way too long

(I been gone for way too long)

I been gone for way too long

High and low

I imagine inside of my soul

Hidden in a basement, hangs around

A still painted picture

Wish I could say

Knew I was wrong

I been gone for way too long

(I been gone for way too long)

I been gone for way too long

Went to myself, a prodigal song

I’ve been gone for way too long

(I been gone for way too long)

I been gone for way too long, yeah
