Losing Touch
Thanks For Coming Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been around, But I haven't been around that much
Do you think i'm losing it, do you think about me at all?
If you call, i'd answer, But you never call
And I don't answer
Too busy thinkin' 'bout natural disasters
And I don't answer
I miss talking to you, anybody, honestly
I take the train just to watch strangers be lonely
Do you think i'm losing it, do you think about me at all?
If you wanted to and I wanted to we could talk
But I don't answer
Too busy thinkin' 'bout crumblin' plaster
And I don't answer
Too busy watchin' time turn faster
And I don't answer
Too busy waitin' for everyone to scatter
And I don't answer
Too busy lookin' for what comes after
It's so goddamn easy to lose touch
Sorry I haven't been around, it's always just to much
