I remember the way   Driving home late   Speeding all the way   Alone in the rain   I was rehearsing a part   From down at the bar   My mouth smelled like a drink   We were laughing, I think   I've been away      Do you pick up your phone   Do you check your mail   Do you answer your door even if it's late?   I don't know who to call   I don't know who to write   And I think I forgot   What your face looks like   I've been away      Do you think that I've changed   I swear I never tried   Memory is a terrible thing   When you use it right   I was rehearsing a part   From down at the bar   My mouth smelled like a drink   We were laughing, I think   I've been away
