I try to stay busy but I get home from work at 3. That's a lot of time to think about you.
and all the songs I write are dreadfully melancholic and sad, I wonder if you think about me too.
I know I should be on my way, I just wanted to see your face, I wanted to see the world I knew before it all went strange,
then I'll go away.
Do you remember that one night when we were at kez' house, I was brave enough to tell you how I felt, we sat for hours in her bath tub til the night gave out, an you taught me all about chasing dragons.
'Hey ho are you feeling okay?', is all I hear from each sad face, I don't wanna talk and I don't want to explain, how it got this way.
I tore up my love on the bathroom floor, it broke with every word I sang and glued up my heart,
it feels a lot like winter, in the middle of July, but I think I can see the sun, it's saying I'll be alright, I'll be alright.
