Absence Makes The Heart Beat

all this time I kept wondering dearly -
where you'd go and how you are -
never knowing how to think clearly -
never cared whether you're too far -
never thinking that the world might spin too fast -
for I keep hanging on -
nothing there to wonder if to last -
cause you might just move on -
don't look up -
always look back -
cause I guess -
absence makes the heart beat -
just look up -
never look back if you wish -
that we'll ever meet -
after a while -
something's creeping up slowly -
you keep moving and I stand still -
try forgetting not to be so lonely -
I try moving and you keep still -
just afraid that the world might spin too fast -
cause I keep hanging on -
sometimes knowing that there's something left to last -
while you might just move on
