Model Trains
Embracing Freedom: Model Trains and Solitude
Lyrics
I'm so glad you're gone, I can finally
I am relieved that you are no longer in my life.
Get around to all the things that I'd rather be doing
I can now focus on activities I genuinely enjoy.
So now that you're gone, I can sit at home
With your absence, I can comfortably stay at home.
Making all the plans, I'm gonna learn how to cook for one
