[Verse 1]

I've been away a little while, and it don't make sense to me

Haven't seen you in a little while, and I get a bit lonely

But do you ever wonder, where I went?

Do you ever leave the lights on at 7:30 when I would go to bed?

Do you ever wonder where I've been? for so long

[Chorus]

Mum and Dad, did you ever search for me?

I swear when they think I'm asleep, I hear you on their TV screens

Keep calling out my name, 'cause it helps me see your face

And if I could let you know, I'd let you know, I'm okay

[Verse 2]

I've been gone a little while and I miss you dearly

Blue skies, cold nights

I saw outside and I recognize the trees

But do you ever wonder where I went?

Do you ever leave the lights on at 7:30 when I would go to bed?

Do you ever wonder where I've been? for so long

[Chorus]

Mum and Dad, did you ever search for me?

I swear when they think I'm asleep, I hear you on their TV screens

Keep calling out my name, 'cause it helps me see your face

And if I could let you know, I'd let you know, I'm okay enough

[Bridge]

Maybe if I pray enough

He'll show you where I am

He'll guide your hand and then you'll turn up

Maybe if I talk too much

Maybe if I run amok

They'll get it in their head that I'm not theirs and then they'll give me up

[Outro]

I've been away a little while, it's been a few years i think

And I don't know where you are but I've changed a bit since I was six
