The girl stood on the rocks with the water at her feet
And the sun on her skin and a tear on her cheek
With her hand at her chest and the wind in her hair
Underneath her breath like a beggar's prayer

She said I miss you come back to me
I wish you'd come back to me but nobody heard
And the world turned and the world turned and the world turned

And that's when the girl reached in her pocket
Pulled out a silver heart-shaped locket
Opened it up and looked for a while
At a faded boy with a lazy smile

Oh, how I miss you come back to me
I wish you'd come back to me but nobody heard
And the world turned and the world turned and the world turned
And the world turned and the world turned and the world turned

And she walked to the deepest part of the river
And she thought about diving in
She imagined how the current would overtake her
How easy it would be to disappear
But instead she tossed the locket in the cool blue water

That night in her bed she let herself weep
She let herself cry herself to sleep
And there in a dream, somewhere in the night
Saw the boy in the locket by the riverside saying

I miss you come back to me
I wish you'd come back to me but nobody heard
And the world turned and the world turned and the world turned
And the world turned and the world turned and the world turned
And the world turned and the world turned and the world turned
