I call you up, you've got nothing to say
I get the hint and I'm blown away
Been gone, gone too long
I've been gone too long
Been gone, gone too long
I've been gone too long

You must see me in some far-away city
Wonder, is he blonde? And is she pretty?
When I'm gone so long, our bonds grow weak
Trust gone sour 'cause we can't speak
Been gone, gone too long
I've been gone too long
Been gone, gone too long
I've been gone too long

I wake up at night drenched in sweat
Another nightmare I can't forget
Drinking and thinking about what could have been
Smoking and trying to live with my sin
Been gone, gone too long
I've been gone too long
Been gone, gone too long
I've been gone too
