about

Recorded at DW's bedroom
Wildomar, CA

lyrics

why even leave if it's just to return again?
like the jealous moon would say to the sun

but it's hard to stay content here
the grass is always greener
so let's keep moving
like the seasons and the tides

but when you grow tired and bored and homesick
you'll realize that everything you love
is everything that you used to know

absence makes the heart grow fonder

why fall in love if you're still so unsure of it
hide from your loneliness
beneath the sheets of her bed

but you'll just end up with an empty heart
to match your empty bottle
just one more pretty face to add
to your list of regrets

but if I, if I could learn from my mistakes
and not just stumble forward blindly
in the dark, arms outstretched

then I could tell you to your face
that I have learned my lesson
that I'm changing my ways

but I know, I know that I'll come crawling back
cause I've already begun to miss what I had

absence makes the heart grow fonder

written by DW
