A Year to the Day
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.
This year,
Ill light the candles alone.
A year ago today I was a fool.
And I believed in heroes,
and dragons, and us.
We were laying out
under the night sky.
You and me, well never die.
Huddled there we lied in the dark.
I tried to figure out who you are.
All along the car ride home,
promises and broken bones and
things wish Id said.
Oh to do it all over again.
This year,
Ill light the candles alone.
A year ago today I was a fool.
And I believed in heroes,
and dragons, and us.
And now the scents returned.
Snow has thawed, I have learned.
Whats too good to be true most always is.
I never wanted to be like this.
Ive got to get out,
Ive got to get out.
Were starting this thing over right now.
Keep this for your scrap book of memories,
take it out and remember me someday,
and know Ive never changed.
This year,
Ill light the candles alone.
A year ago today I was a fool.
And I believed in heroes,
and dragons, and us.
Surprise, surprise
Im still alive but your birthday wishes
all just died.
You closed your eyes and blew out the candles,
prayed to God that Id be strangled,
anything to never hear me again.
I remember our nights alone,
I remember the secrets you told.
Everything you wish to forget,
wrapped up in this tiny present.
Anything to never hear me again.
