The current will rise much faster, makes it harder to find what I'm afterÂ…
The water's up, the waters down and I can't swimÂ…when I am lost and you are not then no one winsÂ…
Our babies have known no father, makes it harder to callÂ…I don't botherÂ…bottle up, bottle down, is how I liveÂ…the moneys' gone just one more song before I turn inÂ…
Chorus:
But you won't see me because I won't be there to help you asleep when you get scaredÂ…it's the absence, you're afraid and the night it's approaches but I'm still a state awayÂ…scared, it's the absence your afraidÂ…
I can't erase what the past is, it's time to face circumstances..as the sun comes up, the sun goes down and I begin the days grow long as I trek on and I hate knowingÂ…
Chorus:
That you won't see me because I won't be there to help you asleep when you get scaredÂ…it's the absence, you're afraid and the night approaches but I'm still a state awayÂ…scared, it's the absence your afraidÂ…of a fightÂ…we're surviving but it's still from day to dayÂ…
It's nice to come home for a weekendÂ…the children have grown, how I've missed themÂ…
As I pull up and you walk out we smile againÂ…the grass needs cut, cuddled up just woman and manÂ…
