There was this time so long ago
Where I fell in love and I still love her
This is serious, I need to go home
I miss my friends that don’t have a soul
Because oh god, I know how to be alone
And I know what it is like to see three feet of snow
Because I lived those days passed out on my lawn
Just trying to look as sick as them
I’m sick to death of all your friends
They treat you like shit, at least mine play pretend
Sitting and singing and laughing out loud
My roommate is sleeping so don’t make a sound
Coffee and lovers and late night summers
Where we used to sit and just dream of each other
Even though we knew next year I’d be far away
Tell me brother, is something the matter with me?
I used to pray to God, back then I was free
So tell me brother, is something the matter with me?
I told our folks back home that it was just me
A touch of gold, a hint of glass
Sit with me and watch the time pass
Soup for dinner, and bread for desert
Bakery love, and love sick hurt
Singing. Dancing. All of the above
Wrestling and loving, two turtle doves
She really loved me
Unconditionally
And I just pushed her away
I’m in love with you because I’m safe in your arms. Safe inside your arms, I love you. I’m in love with you because with you I’m happy. With you I’m happy, I’m happy when I’m with you.
Tell me what it is that you want to here. I was sitting all alone for way to many years. I’m in love with you, and it makes me silly. I’m in love with you and think you’re really pretty.
It was late that night when I yelled at you. It was getting late, I didn’t think it all through. I sat up just thinking about what I did, and called you in the morning to see exactly what I said.
The next thing I knew is that we were holding hands. Somehow together, you came in your mothers van. We sat up all night and sang out even though I had work in the morning. It was just us two.
So tell me the reason why I have become this way. Maybe it’s all those days I spent wasting away. Maybe it was me this whole entire time, it had nothing to do with all the drugs resting in my spine.
The next thing I knew is that we were holding hands. Somehow together, you came in your mothers van. We sat up all night and sang out even though I had work in the morning. It was just us two. Forever is a lifetime that I will spend with you. Forever is a lifetime that will be just us two. Forever is not that far away, especially if forever starts today.
I’m in love with you because I’m safe in your arms. Safe inside your arms, I love you. I’m in love with you because with you I’m happy. With you I’m happy, I’m happy when I’m with you.
I’M IN LOVE WITH YOU, AND IT MAKES ME SILLY. TAUNTED BY MY FRIENDS, SAYING “MAN THIS SHIT’S GIRLY,” I LOVE YOU AND THINK YOU’RE REALLY PRETTY. I LOVE YOU AND IT’S JUST US TWO!
I used to sleep but now I lay awake all night I sing out loud even in my dreams I get a fright and wake up in the morning to go to work I hate this job I hate this work I need to get out of here I need to care I need someone to listen and maybe understand I need to get away from all of these demons they rest inside my spine and take away my feelings I hate to be this way but somehow I am alone I still have you but I still have no soul I think we need to be closer and at least touch hands I think we need to take care of our future plans we an have it in the lawn with some feathers for flowers we can have it in the street and use all the cities power we can dance all night on the snow capped mountains we can be in a subway with just drinking fountains we can have no food or any enjoyments we don’t have to have guests they just got stuff for us I only need to know that forever will be with you I only need to know that forever will be with you.
I’m so sorry for the things I’ve done
And what I did to you is up there number 1.
So sweaty of palm and tongue tied tight,
We’ll sit here and talk late into the night.
Yesteryear still rings my ear.
Like buttons and pins this mess we’re in
dissolves in time.
I know that this time is quite different from when we first met
The years haven’t been kind, worn down by regret
So take hope, theres still enough of what made this young man left
All that once was is not quite gone yet.
Cause we are old friends you and I,
many a time sat silent at my side.
And if this is to be our last goodbye
I’ll take with me a part of you that never dies.
Yesteryear still rings my ear.

So what, so what, we all were afraid.
So this I swear I know, it’s not the chemicals.
You are off my mind, I finally got away.
You said it’s such a life to remember,
so come on, and we’ll sleep away December.
