Carl

I look back on the days that we used to share

Carl, I always knew that you’d be right there

When the storm clouds gathered and the sky turned gray

You’d talk me through the hard times and light the way

Just being with you every day made me glad

You gave me the happiest moments I ever had

Now I'm staring down the road, wondering what I've done

I walked away from my shelter, walked away from my sun

I’m so sorry I left you, tearing our world apart

You will always be a permanent part of my heart

Yeah, wherever I wander, whatever I do

I will always be longing to be with you

The silence is heavy in this empty room

I miss the way your voice could chase away the gloom

You were the steady ground when my world would shake

Now I’m living with the ache of my own mistake

I'd trade a hundred tomorrows for one yesterday

Just to hear you talk the trouble away

Now I'm staring down the road, wondering what I've done

I walked away from my shelter, walked away from my sun

I’m so sorry I left you, tearing our world apart

You will always be a permanent part of my heart

Yeah, wherever I wander, whatever I do

I will always be longing to be with you

I thought I had to run, I thought I needed space

But nothing out here can ever take your place

I carry your memory like a spark in the cold

A love that I had, but I just couldn't hold

Now I'm staring down the road, wondering what I've done

I walked away from my shelter, walked away from my sun

Carl, I’m sorry I left you, tearing our world apart

You will always be a permanent part of my heart

Yeah, wherever I wander, whatever I do

I will always be longing to be with you

Always longing to be with you
