It has been a long time ever since that day
Around seven years have passed us by
and believe me, I'm not the same

The whole world has changed, you wouldn't believe this
All of the technology and the inventions
that you have missed

I want to show you our new world
all the stories which haven't been told
yet because there's no one who will listen to me the way you did

So once in a while, if not always, I go out searching for you
so if you come back, I'll keep you here for a lifetime or two
Because sometimes I fall down on my knees, not believing it's true
that you're not here, and once in a while, if not always I miss you

It has been a long time and naturally I grew older
Guess who's my boyfriend now
and what we've been doing together

The whole world was changed, and I've got to see it all
You should know that it was affected indirectly
by the way you poisoned my soul

I hope you are having fun, no matter where you are
and try to remember us, no matter how far
because I have tried to maintain our traditions, no matter what I did

And once in a while, if not always, I go out searching for you
so if you come back, I'll keep you here for a lifetime or two
Because sometimes I fall down on my knees, not believing it's true
that you're not here, and once in a while, if not always I miss you

It has been too much time ever since you disappeared
There's no way we'd recognize each other if you returned here
So just in case you do come back and want to see me again
Look for the crazy woman with the shining smile that puts the sun to shame

It has been a long time ever since that day
I tried to write down all the things I wanted to say
I thought I would write a thousand words but ended up with two
I don't need to say what they were, I'll leave the guessing up to you

Once in a while, if not always, I go out searching for you
so if you come back, I'll keep you here for a lifetime or two
We'll be doing again together all of the things we used to do
and I'll tell you all of the good news and the bad news too
Because sometimes I fall down on my knees
screaming and crying, not believing it's true
that you're not here, and once in a while, if not always I miss you
