This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
What's going on tonight? Is everything alright?
I hope that nothing's wrong. I haven't seen you
in so long.
I'm away, you're here to stay and I'm away and
you're ok
You're here to stay and I'm away, you're here to
stay and I'm ok
What exactly do you do, when I'm not with you?
What exactly do you say, all the time that I'm away?
You tell me nothing's wrong
Seems like I've been gone oh so long
Nothing seems to have changed
Yet the familiar things seem all so strange
I hope that nothing's wrong. I haven't seen you
in so long.
I'm away, you're here to stay and I'm away and
you're ok
You're here to stay and I'm away, you're here to
stay and I'm ok
What exactly do you do, when I'm not with you?
What exactly do you say, all the time that I'm away?
You tell me nothing's wrong
Seems like I've been gone oh so long
Nothing seems to have changed
Yet the familiar things seem all so strange
