This Is the Thing

I don't know if you notice anything different

It's gettin' dark, and it's gettin' cold, and the nights are gettin' long

And I don't know if you even notice at all

That I'm long gone, babe

I'm long gone

And the things that keep us apart

Keep me alive

The things that keep me alive

Keep me alone

Mmm-mmm-mmm, this is the thing

Mmm-mmm-mmm, this is the thing

Mmm-mmm-mmm, this is the thing

And I don't know if you notice anythin' missin'

Like the leaves on the trees or my clothes all over the floor

And I don't know if you even notice at all

'Cause I was real quiet when I closed the door

And the things that keep us apart

Keep me alive

And the things that keep me alive

Keep me alone

Mmm-mmm-mhm-mmm

Mmm-mmm-mmm, this is the thing

Mmm-mmm-mmm, this is the thing

Mmm-mmm-mmm, this is the thing

And I don't know if you notice anything different

I don't know if you even notice at all

At all

I don't know if you notice anything missing at all

Mmm-mmm-mmm, this is the thing

Mmm-mmm-mmm, this is the thing

Thing, hey-hey

Mmm, this is the thing

This is the thing

This is the thing, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah

This is the thing
