This song is for Dave, who is out of town for a week. Usually I'm okay for three or four days before this kind of stuff happens, but he only left yesterday afternoon. D'oh!
when youre away
dinner is awful
I forget to buy vegetables
thank god for frozen peas
when youre away
I make macaroni and cheese
but I forget to check if theres milk
before I start
when youre away
the cat sleeps on the bed
he wakes up at exactly 6:08 am
and walks on my head
when youre away
I dont know how find
the online tv guide
I watch the one on channel 2 scroll by a thousand times
I tell myself its great
I can do whatever I want
well that turns out to be pretty much nothing
Ive watched about 4 hours of youtube
I wrote a fake horoscope
and spent an hour on this song
Ill wait until you call and then pretend
that everything is fine
but I dont know what Im going to do with myself until next Wednesday
verse: C Dm F G
bridge: Dm C G
