Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Abigail knew too well what Zach was thinking.
She watched his eyes stare at his empty, uneasy hands.
He started sinking in his chair.
She knew Zach cared, but didn't know and was afraid,
Of what tomorrow held.
She'd feel better if he stayed, and Abby wondered aloud...
Chorus:
"Where did all our good plans go?
What do you feel? I know you know..."
Verse 2:
Elevator music filled a food court in a mall.
It was covering the empty sound,
of no conversation at all.
"Back to work," she said to Zach,
"My break's almost done."
"Oh Abigail, I only wish you knew where I was coming from." And Abby wondered aloud...
Chorus
Bridge:
Then he turned and said, "I'll go home instead...
Oh Abigail, you're not making sense.
My love, what have we become?
My love, what have we become?"
Chorus
End with Intro
---
Intro begins with only piano/lead, then the bass kicks in eventually during the first
rhythm guitar comes along in the second verse.
The song ends by going back to the intro/verse pattern with only the piano/lead.
Enjoy.
