Everything We Saw That Day And How You Made Me Feel

I use to walk from school to meet you

At the coffee shop and drink two

Cups of joe, then bum a smoke off anyone

And I'd play for you some songs I wrote

Most were about being alone

And how sad I got, my troubled thoughts and giving up

Before I knew what troubled was

I never used to read, I never had the time

I'd be too busy writing about my own life

And everything we saw that day and how you made me feel

To assure myself that everything was real

I was never good at talking smoothly

So we'd stick to watching movies

Take to bed Eraserhead and The Squid and the Whale

And I'd play for you some songs I wrote

Most were about the way you spoke

And how sad I got when you'd stop and go to sleep

Before you knew just what they mean

I'd dream about a time where everything was fine

Where every single passing day didn't feel like a waste of time

I saw so many things today, but didn't feel alive

I've died, I've died, I've died

Now I don't remember how you speak

I mean, it comes to me in dreams

But by morning, I lose everything you ever said

So I am going to bed
