And in the dawn of miralax and green, grainy smoothies
I wish for my life back.
Cause as you left
I said something
stupid
and watched you take my context with you.
Stupid
Unnecessary
Bloated
(You were always there)
(You were always there)
(You were always there)
(You were always there)
(You were always there)
(You were always there)
(You were always there)
(You were always there)
I saw you standing there,
And I met those eager eyes
We exchanged a bit of air,
Then you went off into the night.
And after that I dreamed
That I would see you again.
And with just a single memory
I twisted you through my head.
Eventually we made it to that stage,
And I sang for you.
Through blinding lights and a dreary haze,
I looked for you.
And while I couldn’t produce any proof,
I thought I saw you there.
But I know the truth:
That you were always there.
Cause I saw you there,
I just didn’t know what to say.
Oh I saw you there,
Without a thing to say.
A few months later you float to the tops of the trees just out of sight
I’m grabbing the groceries out of the back of the car
A cool, grey mist seizes me
And I walk towards my new apartment building
I take the stairs, I see the lights in the distance
But coming out of the stairwell, something feels wrong
Cause I got off at the wrong floor
And you’re not what I’ve come for, babe
But you’re what I want more, babe, you’re what I want more, babe.
