Amnesia

I bet you're laying in the gutter somewhere,
maimed,
calling out my name.

I bet you've lost your mind 
trying
to stand
to get back to where I am.

Maybe you caught amnesia
heard its contagious this year;
or were you whisked off to Asia
unwillingly? Cuz I miss you, dear.

Cuz you couldn't have just left,
you couldn't have just gone,
without saying where you went
to the girl you love.

Remember? I'm the girl you love.

I bet you're on the next train.
I bet you're hitching a ride.
I bet your plane was delayed.
I bet you're barely alive...

Swam the desert,
and walked the sea.
Ran til you hurt 
just to get to me.
 
Maybe you caught amnesia...
