The first time I went away I wrote to you every day I told you everything I was doing You'd ring me in the morning You'd page me in the night I missed you so much I couldn't sleep without you And I'd swear "The way I feel Is going to last forever" When I came home On the third weekend I was so glad to see you Everything was perfect Everything felt right And nothing had changed The second time I went away I didn't want to go But we agreed I had to get on with my life So I slept in every morning I went out every night Until there were days when I hardly even thought of you But I'd swear "The way I feel Is going to last forever" When I came home for Christmas I slept for a day I felt nervous to see you And all through the holidays It seemed we'd grown apart I felt I'd changed, but you'd stayed the same The last time I went away I think I knew it was over So I went out and got drunk with my new friends That was years ago I've only seen you twice since then Once at a party and once in the street Now I don't know where you are Your family moved away Oh I don't even know what you are doing But I'm sad and I miss you And I'd kind of like to see you And I swear "The way I feel Is going to last forever"
