I saw you're back in town
Are you sitting in your flat
With your coasters and your fake house plants
You're always on the go
So I can understand
You got tired of how the real ones never last
I don't miss you so much when you're far away
I miss you when you're close
Cuz when you're gone I couldn't have you anyway
But when you're near I could almost
Close but no cigar
Just a cigarette
That you're smoking on your balcony again
A few blocks up the road
I'm drinking to forget
That you're here but I'm not hearing from you yet
And I don't miss you so much when you're far away
I miss you when you're close
Cuz when you're gone I couldn't have you anyway
But when you're near I could almost
And it's quiet at my place
As I watch the sunset fade
Wishing you were far away
I don't miss you so much when you're far away
I miss you when you're close
Cuz when you're gone I couldn't have you anyway
But when you're near I could almost
Almost
Almost
