There

There
 He was never there
 Every time we talked
 I'd look in his eyes
 And his mind was... where?
 I don't mean to say
 Life was gloom and doom
 Things were always pleasant
 If i needed help
 He was in the room
 He just wasn't present
 He just wasn't there
 Never really there
 I felt so unhinged
 I went out and binged
 Had that dumb affair
 Still the fault's not mine
 Quoting gertrude stein
 There was just no there there
 There there
 Don't know why i care
 'Cept that i am here
 'Cause he wasn't
 Man 3 (woman 2)
 There(there)
 I was never...(there)
 ...there
 She was always (there)
 Saying george be (there)
 And my mind said... where?
 Did i have a choice?
 Love is worth a fight
 Not a thing you squander (yoo hoo george?)
 Then i'd hear her voice (george?)
 Urgent and uptight (hello?)
 And my mind would wander (come in george)
 So i wasn't there (couldn't he be there?)
 Never really there (once an evening there)
 And i felt maligned
 That my vagrant mind
 Meant i didn't care (it was clear that he didn't care)
 Then to make things smooth
 She would try to soothe
 Sticking in her "there, there" there (there there)
 Got out of her hair
 'Cause she made it clear
 That i wasn't there
 Woman 2 (man 3)
 I'm not a jerk
 Thought it's the way i seem (wanted to be there)
 He had his work
 I gave him time to dream (knew i should be there)
 Lost my desire
 Waiting till he awoke (worked at being there)
 Longing for fire
 Living with smoke
 Isn't a joke
 Man 3 (woman 2)
 I tried to go her way
 Wanting things improved
 Tired of being not there
 (is it so hard a task?)
 Think of my dismay
 Finding she had moved
 By the time i got there
 (too much to ask?)
 She was over there
 (i was here, i was always here)
 Where the hell was there?
 (there was here
 Could it be more clear?)
 Both
 Groping like the blind
 How we hoped to find
 One place we could share
 Faults we tried to hide
 Living side by side
 Funny, when they're there, they're there
 Woman 2
 There, there
 And it isn't fair
 Man 3
 No, it really isn't fair
 Woman 2
 That we wind up here
 Man 3
 That we wind up here
 Both
 When we once were
 ...there.
 Do do do do do do do do do do do...
