Lyrics

Abigail

[Verse 1]

Abigail, knew too well

What Zach was thinking

She watched his eyes stare at his empty, uneasy hand

He started sinking

In his chair, she knew Zach cared

But didn't know he was afraid

Of what tomorrow held

Well he'd feel better

If he stayed and Abby wondered aloud

[Chorus]

"Where did all the good plans go?

What do you feel?

I know you know"

[Verse 2]

Elevator music plays

In the food court in a mall

It was covering the empty sound

Of no conversation at all

And back to work, she said to Zach

"My break's almost done."

Oh Abigail I only wish you knew where I was coming from

And Abby wanted to know

[Chorus]

"Where did all the good plans go?

What do you feel?

I know you know"

[Bridge]

Then he turned and said

"I'll go home instead

Abigail, you're not making sense

My love, what have we become?

My love, what have we become?"

[Chorus]

Where did all the good plans go?

What do you feel

I know you know
