[Verse 1]
I've been acting strangely, you were out of touch
Dribbling some memory while out and having lunch
I thought I should run away as fast as you could think of
Another excuse for why we were out of touch
Come and read me twice, believe me once again
Pulled a few ones over but I won't show up
If you can't be free, I won't be honest

[Chorus]
And by the time you come back
By the time you come back and see that
Well, I've gone home
You'll be free but you won't need it

[Verse 2]
Sure, there were times and times when we'd be out
And I realised it's the distance
I'll be around so we can sort this out

[Chorus]
And by the time I come back
By the time I come back and see that
You've gone home
I'll be free but I won't need it
[Outro]
Might've if I hadn't wound up as an addict
Now I'm going to change my mind
Well, reason suits me better, hoping to forget it
Now I hope to change your life
Might've if I hadn't wound up as an addict
Now I'm going to change your mind
Well, reason suits me better, hoping to forget it now
