Cousin

Yours were the first eyes I ever looked into
I can still see you standin' panicked in the driveway
It was one of those moments you save somebody drownin' in.
Deep in the summer whiter in the winter
And we had hearts made of plate glass maybe even thinner
And I can still see your taillights fadin' down the alley
The day you went away, the day I went away.
Hey, I've been lookin' for you all this time
Anything I can find of you
To remind me of
How it used to be
When the world was so young.
Worlds are collidin' little souls dividing
And we had so little time left the Wicked Witch reminded
And it was one of those moments when goodbye is forever
And I made you go away I wanted to beg you to stay.
I've been looking for you all this time
Anything I can find of you
To remind me of
How it used to be
When the world was so young.
Well, I've been waitin'
For you to find me
Just one last look
I'll put it all behind me
And I don't care
You don't have to stay
I just want one last
Chance to feel that way, that way.
Years come and go now but hearts always remember
And I still carry you with me December through December
And it is one of those memories you hold onto forever
And it never goes away, it never goes away.
And I'm still lookin' for you all this time
Anything I can find of you
To remind me of
How it used to be
When the world was so young.
And I, I've been looking for you all this time
Anything I can find of you
To remind me of
How it used to be
When the world was so young, so young, hey.
Ahhhhh.
