By Lake or Sea
Echoes of Unspoken Longing
Lyrics
You stand in your door
You observe from your doorway
When you say "good night"
When you bid "good night"
And you don't go inside
Yet refrain from entering
When I walk to my car
As I approach my vehicle
You send me a text
You message me
Before I am home
Prior to my arrival home
To tell me about
To share details about
Some new song you heard
A new song you encountered
But you forgot to tell me
However, you omitted to inform me
That there was somebody
That there was another person
You forgot to tell me
You failed to mention
That there was somebody
That there was another person
We drive to the sea
We journey to the seaside
And listen to songs
And indulge in songs
I don't really like
That I may not necessarily enjoy
But you know all the words
Yet, you know all the lyrics
And I'll try sing along
I attempt to sing along
The best that I can
To the best of my ability
But I'd listen to you
However, I would rather listen to you
Yeah, I'd listen to that
Yes, I would prefer to listen to that
But you forgot to tell me
But you neglected to inform me
That there was somebody
That there was another person
You forgot to tell me
You failed to mention
That there was somebody
That there was another person
I'll stare at the wall
I will gaze at the wall
And hope that you'll call
And yearn for your call
But I'll listen to songs
Still, I will listen to songs
You don't send anymore
That you no longer send
