Been A While Lyrics

There's a scab on my knee from the time I fell

Down the stairs by the driveway at my uncles house

And all I wanna do is pick at it until I bleed

But I know that the infection will do harm to me

It is hard to stop myself

Four dollars for the box of bandages

Big enough to cover up where all the damage is

Other than the time I fell I'd say my trip was pretty good

Hadn't been around to that part of the neighborhood

In a while

In a while before that day

It had been a while since I'd been that way

Heaven knows I couldn't stay

It was easy to let the years go by

But they shouldn't go away

In the end I find I'm grateful for

The chance to meet again

When it all is said and done I know my leg will heal

But the distance from my family is another deal

The more the time goes on the more I feel the distance grow

Weeks turn in to months, to years and well before you know

You don't know them
