Window View - Seven Years lyrics

rate me

nothing to do, turn on tube

with a tv guide right by your side

you turn to the news, nothing is new

but you're not really listening anyway

you got a note in the mail, says that you failed

to meet the requirements for a welfare check

but it would mean so much less, if someone would just

take the time to come and check

inside every lonely life

theres a question burning holes inside

if im missing would you miss me?

if im gone would you move on?

would you post up signs on street poles?

would you search straight through 'til dawn?

and if the sun rose up would you search all through the day?

and would you not give up, and not lay down, until im found?

you lay down on the bed, the sheets colored red

you never really liked that colour much

if tonight when you closed, your eyes you died

would anybody notice?

and inside every lonely life

theres a question burning holes inside

if im missing would you miss me?

if im gone would you move on?

would you post up signs on street poles?

would you search straight through till dawn?

and if the sun rose up would you search all through the day?

and would you not give up, and not lay down?

every single second of our lives

is a second that we cant just let slip by

cause for everyone whos got someone theres a pair of lonely eyes

and if wed just look up to meet the tears they cry

if im missing would you miss me?

if im gone would you move on?

would you post up signs on street poles?

would you search straight through till dawn?

and if the sun rose up would you search all through the day?

and would you not give up, and not lay down, until im found?

you walk in the door, shoes on the floor

a pack of cigarettes lays on the stand

the answering machine, is perfectly clean

no one ever called

says constable leer

"its been seven years, how could anyone be so alone?"

hes been dead in his bed, the sheets colored red

and no one ever noticed
