But you won't see me 'cause I won't be there
The money's gone just one more song before I turn in
It approaches but I'm still a state away
So bottle up, bottle down, is how I live
I can't erase what the past is
The children have grown, how I've missed them
The days grow long as I trek on and I hate knowing
Help you asleep when you get scared
Makes it harder to call, I don't bother
It's the absence you're afraid and the night
Sun comes up, sun goes down and I, I begin
It's time to face circumstances
As I pull up, you walk out and we smile again
When I am lost and you are not, then no one wins
That you won't see me 'cause I won't be there to
Our babies have known no father
It's still from day to day
The water's up, water's down and I, I can't swim
Yeah, it's the absence you're afraid of the night
It's the absence you're afraid and the night
Yeah, it's the absence you're afraid
I'm surviving but it's still from day to day
It's nice to come home for a weekend
It's still from day to day
To help you asleep when you get scared
It approaches but I'm still a state away
