They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder
All I know is, a yearning for something new
It's taken me an awful long time
To unlearn everything I thought I knew

There's something about riding this street today
A feeling, a sound, a smell from somewhere
Maybe it's in that field, that I used to run in
Something from my past is calling

Will I open up my heart
Will I fall apart
Will I stand up again
Just like I did then

There's something about, the way that time closes a door
On your past, the way you don't think no more
It's only now and tomorrow that we're thinking about
But something's suffocating in my background

You and me, we used to be so friendly
We walked this street, one day we were married
I'm so in awe of your total beauty
I wish so much, that you still loved me

Will I open up my heart
Will I fall apart
Will I stand up again
Just like I did then
