about

This song started simply enough. My wife was away for a weekend, and when I came home from work she had left a note on the table and keys by the door. The song didn't pop into mind, though, until I walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind me. It seemed suddenly odd to close a door in a house with no one else home.

I stopped closing the door, I don't do that no more
You're not around

Can't talk to you're friends, I want to see you again
You're not around

I try calling you're phone, there's no dial tone
You're not around

Keys by the door, note on the table
You're not around

I talk to myself, they say it's good for my health
You're not around

But there's not much to say, and I don't listen anyway
You're not around

The sky fills with rain, I don't complain
You're not around

Keys by the door, note on the table
You're not around

I feed the dog and the cat twice a day
Put a smile on my face, but my heart is still gray
You're not around

I stopped closing the door, I don't do that no more
You're not around

I talk to you're friends, I want to see you again
You're not around

The sky fills up with rain, I don't complain
You're not around

Keys by the door, note on the table
You're not around

I make dinner for one, it leaves me a mess
Leave the dishes undone, one soul in distress
