Breadcrumbs - Jacob Lee

I’ve been away a little while

And it don’t make sense to me

Haven’t seen you in a little while

And I get a bit lonely

But do you ever wonder

Where I went?

Do you ever leave the lights on

At 7:30 when I would go to bed?

Do you ever wonder

Where I’ve been?

For so long

Mum and Dad

Did you ever search for me?

I swear when they think I’m asleep

I hear you on their TV screens

Keep calling out my name

Cause it helps me see your face

And if I could let you know

I’d let you know I’m okay

I’ve been gone a little while

And I miss you dearly

Blue skies, cold nights

I saw outside

And I recognize the trees

But do you ever wonder

Where I went?

Do you ever leave the lights on

At 7:30 when I would go to bed?

Do you ever wonder

Where I’ve been?

For so long

Mum and Dad

Did you ever search for me?

I swear when they think I’m asleep

I hear you on their TV screens

Keep calling out my name

Cause it helps me see your face

And if I could let you know

I’d let you know I’m okay enough

Maybe if I pray enough

He’ll show you where I am

He’ll guide your hand

And then you’ll turn up

Maybe if I talk too much

Maybe if I run amok

They’ll get it in their head

That I’m not theirs

And then they’ll give me up

I’ve been away a little while

It’s been a few years I think

And I don’t know where you are

But I’ve changed a bit

Since I was six
