lyrics

Do you still remember all the time we spent writing, and singing songs, in a series of basements? Or all the time spent goofing off, sitting around watching cartoons, or playing with the cat? It seems those days ended too soon. But I still get sad when I hear your voice sometimes. I couldn't have predicted it, it took me by surprise. Certain songs, and certain lines... They take me back in time. Take me back in time. In this haze of memories, obscured by clouds it's hard to see how long its been. They roll aside eventually, reveal visions that open wounds I thought had healed. No, no, it does no good looking back this way! Life's too short to waste my time in purgatory every day. Back to the present moment. Dwelling on the past hurts, don't it? I know we all had more to say. Too bad Life tends to get in the way. Maybe we'll all come around again some day, but I still get sad when I hear your voice sometimes. I couldn't have predicted it, it took me by surprise. Certain songs, and certain lines... They take me back in time. Take me back in time.
