Lyrics
He told me put your life on the line
He advised me to risk everything for a cause or relationship.
He told me stretch your hand out to mine
He suggested reaching out and connecting with him.
Said baby I'll be gone for a while
He informed me about his temporary absence.
And I just wanna take in your smile
Expressing a desire to cherish my smile before he leaves.
But where does that leave me
Reflecting on the uncertainty of the situation.
I'm up in this city
Feeling lost in a bustling city.
Waiting for a love I've never known
Longing for a love that has not been experienced.
He promised me that he'd come around
Assurance of his return.
He said that he would not let me down
Confidence in not being let down.
So tell me baby where are you now
Questioning the current whereabouts of the person.
This silence has become kinda loud
Noticing the loudness of the silence in his absence.
I'm stuck in this distance
Frustration with the physical and emotional distance.
So much for commitment
Reflecting on the broken commitment.
I just need to find my way back home
Seeking a way to find a sense of belonging.
