This Is the Thing

And I don't know if you notice anything different It's getting dark and it's getting cold And the nights are getting long And I don't know if you even notice at all That I'm long gone, baby, gone, long gone And the things that keep us apart Keep me alive And the things that keep me alive Keep me alone, mmm This is the thing, mmm This is the thing, mmm This is the thing I don't know if you notice anything missing Like the leaves on the trees or my clothes all over the floor And I don't know if you even notice at all 'Cause I was real quiet when I closed the door And the things that keep us apart Keep me alive And the things that keep me alive Keep me alone, mmm This is the thing, mmm This is the thing, mmm This is the thing And I don't know if you notice anything different And I don't know if you even notice at all And I don't know if you notice anything different This is the thing, mmm This is the thing, mmm This is the thing, mmm This is the thing This is the thing
