Where I Long to Be

(intro) [Verse] Restless soul, you're always on the move, Chasing ghosts, or running from the truth. I reach out, but you're already gone, Leaving me to wonder what went wrong. [Chorus] Why do you keep fading away? Just when I think you might stay. You're a hurricane, wild and free, But the eye of your storm's where I long to be. [Verse 2] Late night calls, your voice a distant haze, Speaking of dreams and better days. I listen close, try to understand, But you're a book I just can't comprehend. [Chorus] Why do you keep fading away? Just when I think you might stay. You're a hurricane, wild and free, But the eye of your storm's where I long to be. [Verse 3] Months go by, not a single word, Then you're back like nothing occurred. I want to help, to ease your restless mind, But you're an enigma to unwind. [Bridge] You're fighting battles I can't see, Wrestling demons endlessly. I'm here for you, don't you know? But you keep putting on a show. [Chorus] Why do you keep fading away? Just when I think you might stay. You're a hurricane, wild and free, But the eye of your storm's where I long to be. [Verse 4] Your laughter echoes, but your eyes are cold. There's so much left that remains untold. I see the cracks in your facade, But you won't let me in, and it feels so odd. [Chorus] Why do you keep fading away? Just when I think you might stay. You're a hurricane, wild and free, But the eye of your storm's where I long to be. [Verse 5] As you leave again, I'm left to wonder, Will our friendship survive this thunder? I'll keep the light on, just in case, You find your way back to my place. [Outro] Why do you keep fading away? Just when I think you might stay. You're a hurricane, wild and free, But the eye of your storm's where I long to be.
