[Verse 1]

Roll you like a stone

All the way up and out

But right when I wrapped my mind around why

You rolled right back down

Spent those days alone

Sleeping next to your ghost

But I had a dream bout the real you and me

And the phantoms left when I woke


[Pre-Chorus 1]

In your imagination, you still got me on my tiptoes

In your imagination, I can’t let go

In your imagination, you’re still stuck in my hold

But baby you're mistaken

Because in the real world


[Chorus]

It's been a while since you crossed my mind

It's been a while since you took up my time

You might think that you're stuck in my head, running, running since we last met

But it's been a while since I found those feelings dead


[Verse 2]

Empty you all out

Water running down the drain

Didn't take long to bury those bones

They turned to dust right away


[Pre-Chorus 2]

In your imagination, I'm still spelling out your name

In your imagination, I still miss those days

In your imagination, I'm still burning in your flame

But baby you're mistaken, I'm not lying when I say that


[Chorus]

It's been a while since you crossed my mind

It's been a while since you took up my time

You might think that you're stuck in my head, running, running since we last met

But it's been a while since I found those feelings dead


[Bridge]

I don't remember how to drive to your home

I don't know the number to your phone

All those times I said I couldn't let go

Now I can't remember

I can't remember (I can't remember)

I can't remember

I can't remember, I can't remember (I can't remember)

I can't remember, I can't remember (I can't remember)

How can it feel to know


[Chorus]

It's been a while since you crossed my mind

It's been a while since you took up my time

You might think that you're stuck in my head, running, running since we last met

But it's been a while since I found those feelings dead


[Outro]

Baby, it's been a while
