lyrics

I hope upon hope that you're happy
And I'm sure that doesn't mean much to you
But when I think about those times, I get sappy
And I'm so damned glad you're doing what you wanted to do

If I saw you walking down the street
I probably wouldn't say hi
But don't mistake my reluctance for some lingering repugnance
I never knew what to say to you, and I never knew how to try

So I fly
Away

Maybe you don't think much of me
And frankly I don't think much of you
But whenever I do there's a slight sharp chill
That pierces my spine, up and through

An old Spanish mission with swallows nesting near
With painful precision it can suck out a tear
And the fear we keep that when we grow old
We'll have nothing left but the stories we've told

To each other
What a bother

My mind is a vacuum
And my heart is a sponge
And when your face pops up in one
They both take a plunge
I can try to face the fact
That my memory won't last
But I'm too busy digging
This hole in the past

The audience fills into their seats
The tickets sold out on the first day
And the movie I show is all scattered and jumbled
But I hear that art films have big cachet

My visuals are lacking but my sound is coming through
This song is for you and the version of you that you were
When we parted ways
And if I forget all you have to do is say

Who you are
Now that I'm gone
