LYRICS:
The desk where you sit inside of a frame
Made of, made of, of wood
I keep those chopsticks you had from when you
Taught abroad, taught abroad, in Japan
I love it all, so much I call!
I want you back, back, back
You back!
I did not know you as well as my
Father, father, knew you
Every question you took the time to see it in
Look it up, look it up, encyclopedia
I love it all, so much I call!
I want you back, back, back
You back!
I love it all, so much I call!
I want you back, back, back
You back!
It sounds like we have had a great deal
To say, to say, to each other
I bet when I leave my body for the sky
The wait, the wait, will be worth it
I love it all, so much I call!
I want you back, back, back
You back!
I love it all, so much I call!
I want you back, back, back
You back!
