Lyrics
David
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Thinking up stories in my mind to relax, every single night
There are no responsibilities there, everything's alright
Every time I'm down, I dream, I dream of you
It's not worth it, though, forgetting everything I know
I need my old friend sitting next to me
Time is everything (a companion has?) to be
Where does my heart go when you die?
How did that moment pass me by? Oh
How can you look so good and feel the way you do?
I never knew... Oh, I never knew, oh
Got me dressin' in my sunday-best; golden spires of light
Hours pass like they are minutes or less. Everything is alright
Every time I'm down, I dream, I dream of you
It's not worth it, though, forgetting everything I know
(Was it worth it, though -leaving everything ya know?)
I need my old friend sitting next to me
You were everything a companion has to be
Where does my heart go when you die?
How did that moment pass me by?
Ohhh
How can you look so good and feel the way you do?
I never knew
Oh, I never knew
Where does my heart go when you die?
How did that moment pass me by?
Ohh
How can you look so good and feel the way you do?
I never knew
Oh, I never knew
I never knew
