Where'd You Go
Boy & Bear Lyrics
Sometimes, I hate that it changed
I know some things won't be the same
Never knew love could cause such a strain
On my life, but I fight
Feelings might be different, on your side
But feelings still the same, on my side
I can't walk with the pain, I've tried
I can't walk thru the rain, I'm blind
I know some things won't be the same
Never knew love could cause such a strain
On my life, but I fight
Feelings might be different, on your side
But feelings still the same, on my side
I can't walk with the pain, I've tried
I can't walk thru the rain, I'm blind

Bit late but...
Hey boy, what you making
Looking up as you go
I heard your voice just the other day, on the radio
But like an ancient shrine that has swallowed your mind
Well you lost yourself with nothing to say
And not that hard to ask, you to stay
Sweet times all made up in my mind
Where'd you go
Where'd you go
Where'd you go
Where'd you go
I know that wonder couldn't wake you, from a slumber so slow
Hazy Jane, you known my name for a while now
And all that wasted time following dotted lines
Is enough to send a man insane
And not that hard to ask, you to stay
Sweet times all made up in my mind
Where'd you go
Where'd you go
Where'd you go
Where'd you go
Now I'm walking up
The same mountain I climbed everyday
Could almost hold it but honey I tried
Sweet times all made up in my mind
Where'd you go
Where'd you go
Where'd you go
Where'd you go
Where'd you go
King. Yero
