[Verse 1]All my friends have gone awaySailing vessels leaving the bayFor the best four years and the promise of payBut they don’t even know what they’re chasing[Pre-Chorus]Greater men have tried and failed[Chorus]And all this time I thought that I’d stayAs a ghost who would haunt this mountainAnd all this time I thought that I’d stayAlive in the ground digging out my coffin[Verse 2]Time was short on courts and pavementWe knew we had to leaveBut did I make the most of every dayAnd did I give to not receive?Are there any better words to expressThe full extent of my grief?[Interlude](It hits home) It hits home(When you're not home) When you're not home(There's no space to grow)(And all this time not much to show)When you're not home[Chorus]And all this time I thought that I'd stayAs a ghost who would haunt this mountainMaybe I should hold my tongueAnd do my best to live with the stress that's mounting[Post-Chorus]I never thought, I never thoughtA bond was something we lackedI gotta find another wayTo keep myself intact[Bridge]I understand we all went awaySo we could have the stories to share when we’re backTry to pass the same old shitTo get ahead and start your paper stackI never thought (I never thought)A bond was something we lackedI guess some of us just needed a changeTo heal the bones we cracked[Outro]It takes four years away from your friendsTo make you all forget how much time you spent
