Absentee Heartbeat
by John Van Deusen

Album: I Am Origami, Pt. 1 - The Universal Sigh

Chorus 1
Absentee Heartbeat
It's all we have to go on
The look on their faces
Told me that you were gone

Chorus 2
And there go all the things we planned
All the things we planned
There go all the things we planned for you
And there go all the things we planned
All the things we planned
There go all the things we planned for you

Bridge
But it's not over
It just gets colder
No, it's not over
It just gets colder

Verse
But I guess that you've been saved
The weight of growing up, and breaking down
Your tiny body, sleeps under the holly tree
Your mom planted flowers, so you wouldn't get lonely

Chorus 2
And there go all the things we planned
All the things we planned
There go all the things we planned for you
And there go all the things we planned
All the things we planned
There go all the things we planned for you

Chorus 1
Absentee Heartbeat
It's all we have to go on
The look on their faces
Told me that you were gone

Outro
It's a beautiful sight, it's a marvelous thing
