I don't know if you notice anything different
It's getting dark and it's getting cold and the nights are getting long
And I don't know if you even notice at all
That I'm long gone babe I'm long gone
And the things that keep us apart
Keep me alive
And the things that keep me alive
Keep me alone
This is the thing
This is the thing
This is the thing
I don't know if you notice anything missing
Like the leaves on the trees or my clothes all over the floor
And I don't know if you even notice at all
'Cause I was real quiet when I closed the door
And the things that keep us apart
Keep me alive
And the things that keep me alive
Keep me alone
This is the thing
This is the thing
This is the thing
And I don't know if you notice anything, different
I don't know if you even notice at all
And I don't know if you notice anything missing
This is the thing
This is the thing
This is the thing
This is the thing
This is the thing
It's getting dark and it's getting cold and the nights are getting long
And I don't know if you even notice at all
That I'm long gone babe I'm long gone
And the things that keep us apart
Keep me alive
And the things that keep me alive
Keep me alone
This is the thing
This is the thing
This is the thing
I don't know if you notice anything missing
Like the leaves on the trees or my clothes all over the floor
And I don't know if you even notice at all
'Cause I was real quiet when I closed the door
And the things that keep us apart
Keep me alive
And the things that keep me alive
Keep me alone
This is the thing
This is the thing
This is the thing
And I don't know if you notice anything, different
I don't know if you even notice at all
And I don't know if you notice anything missing
This is the thing
This is the thing
This is the thing
This is the thing
This is the thing

When I saw fink he said that this song was about being with someone, but having a career or something i.e music that means you will be away from that person a lot and having to deal with it. A beautiful song, but vague enough to mean many things to many people.
