Versuri How Have You Been

 
you could always hear the rub squeaking 
of those two tree limbs 
'til one day one of them came down 
taken down by the wind 
but on the one that's still there 
you can still see where the bark was 
rubbed bare 
it's a metaphor if you know what I mean 
how have you been? 
 
me and you 
and your girlfriend makes three 
in the interest of even numbers 
I will make myself scarce 
I will make myself scarcely me 
but I'll be outside your window at night 
pull up your shades 
leave on your light 
I don't want to come in between 
I just want to know 
how have you been 
 
I leave for a living 
music's just something I do 
on my way out the door 
and I'd do almost anything once 
something about you 
I think I'd do you more 
if I had my way I'd stay here 
and watch your hair grow for a while 
it makes me smile just to dream of it 
how have you been
