Why Don't I See You Anymore?


Did your career take off, are you traveling all the time
Doing your part to launch the new product line
Did you get a big promotion, are you winning awards
Why don’t I see you anymore?

Did you stumble on a corner of the internet and make a bunch of friends
And decide you wanted to spend most of your time with them
With all that surveillance, you should never feel ignored
Why don’t I see you anymore?

Did you come to the conclusion that everybody’s full of shit
And you’d never meet anyone who wasn’t a hypocrite
Or did you do the opposite and fall for the Lord
Why don’t I see you anymore?

Did you move to that town in Iowa to bake bread and meditate
You know I was born in that agricultural, transcendental state
Or did you settle in the desert, find some ground you could afford
Why don’t I see you anymore?

Did you find a better way to watch movies at home
Did you finally realize you’d rather be alone
Or was I one of your husband’s friends that you lost in the divorce
Why don’t I see you anymore?

Did you come down with something the doctors couldn’t name
Did your heart stop beating, but they kept alive your brain
Did you hit your head on the table and lie writhing on the floor
Why don’t I see you anymore?
