Virginia Dare: Seeking Belonging in a Changing World
Lyrics
You were here, now you're gone
You were present, but now you are absent.
Hoping just to find some place where you belong
Hoping to discover a place where you feel a sense of belonging.
Let me know before too long
Requesting information about your well-being before too much time passes.
How the world's been treating you
Asking how life has treated you.
And if you've finally heard that song

To make you wanna stay

And if so, let it play
Encouraging the mentioned song to play if it resonates with you.
I find it hard to see you now
Expressing difficulty in seeing you now, as if you were never around.
As if you never even really come around
Feeling left behind and down due to your absence.
Left behind, feeling down
Acknowledging not forgetting you despite the passage of time.
It's not that I'd forgotten you
It's not because of something said that might have made you stay.
It's not as if I'd said a wordto make you wanna stay, anyway
Clarifying that no words were spoken to encourage you to stay anyway.

The same things confusing you
