I Drink 'Cause You're Not Here

from Arch Stanton by Arch Stanton

lyrics

Summertime makes heartache disappear,
at least it used to be that way,
but summer’s gone this year.
and still I see a lonely boy when I look in the mirror.
So I drink 'cause you’re not here.

I long for every set of eyes I meet.
I ward away the omens
that tell me that I need
to know that being lonely and alone are separate things.
So I wait for company.

The table turns into the friend I thought you’d be,
but the windows seem to hide the things
that I would like to see.
I even pray to heaven, but the angels all decree
home to you is not with me.

I thought I’d try to catch things as they fell,
to have a life where sorrow was nothing I could tell,
and still I live to know the day
when all on Earth is well,
but until then I’ll be waiting here.
