Casey Donahew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well its been a long time since i seen you around
and when was the last time you laid a foot in my town
my doors still open and you know the way to my place
and i still spend all night long dreamin about your face
Chorus:
I roll out of bed with you in my head
and i spend my time thinkin about what you said
wish i knew what i put you through
well i'd love to see you if you wanted to too
but if you dont call it will be ok
cause ive got a heartache to get me through the lost days
Verse 2:
my friends have saw you when you were walkin down main
you been in town three days havent called im goin insane
but i still remember we'd get high and love all night
but i still wake up alone till the dawning of the light
Chorus
And everything i do just seems so wrong
and you been gone now for so long
and everyone around here thinks we're done
but i still feel the pain with the rising of the sun
