lyrics

you didn’t say why you were going
you just went
and left me on my own feeling small
in an oversized apartment
now I see you on the news
an international hero
but couldn’t you have
taken me with you, though?

did you want to explore
and see what you would find?
did you mean to save the world
or just leave me behind?

I don’t want to forget you
I’m sorry I upset you
I’ll send you a smile by wire
if you survive this trial by fire

I don’t know why you did
all the things you did
but now I can’t ask…
you’re completely off the grid
I follow your story
like a curious stranger
you always seemed to love
the smell of danger

did you find your calling?
did you want to escape
if you’re checking your mail
I hope you get this tape

I don’t want to forget you
I’m sorry I upset you
I’ll send you a smile by wire
if you survive this trial by fire
