Everything Looks Better In Hindsight

When you wake up in the morning

Are you lonely

To find only the items I had left

By your bedside on the table to your right hand

Little traces are the proof that I exist

Looking back now I can see your clear green eyes

In that old shed with the string lights you reside

With the swing set stuck above you in the rafters

And the books and the records on each side

And the books and the records on each side

I knew I could grow to love him

But his walls came up too fast

I was strong in his presence

But he left me for the past

Now will he ever stop haunting me

And let me go

My mind should lose their memories

My mind should lose their memories

I only remember the sweetest of things

I only remember the sweetest things

Keep her close now, keep her happy, keep her wanting

Don't desert now the way that you did me

Cook her breakfast, share your music, tell your secrets

Give it all like you never plan to leave

Oh did you plan to leave

And I tell your friends it was easier then

To give your heart away

Before it all became broken and eager to love

I gave it all with hate

So if you're telling your story

Especially of heart ache

It better ring out true

To pass down your blood line

And travel through song

In an honest remembrence of you

Cause I knew I could grow to love him

But his walls came up too fast

I was so strong in his presence

But he left me for his past

Now will he ever stop haunting

And let me go

Will he ever say goodbye to me

I've been on my own

So when you wake up in the morning

Are you lonely

To find only the love that you had left

By my bedside on the table to my left hand

Little traces are the proof that you exist
