This empty desk
Sat out beside me
This empty desk
In the empty space inside me
This seat you never sat in
The notes we never passed
All those pencils never dropped
Some things that never last
This empty desk beside me
This hollow space inside me
The trouble we never were
The detentions we were never given
The days that passed away
As I sat alive but not living
This empty desk beside me
Where your ghost sits
The company is lonely
In this empty desk beside me
