lyrics

I’ll never see you again
You’re a memory or a dream
Or a face on a screen once in a while
And I hate that

Stumbling around in the dark
In a cold house that wasn’t mine
I’d walk the dog, read a book
You were on my mind some of the time

Sometimes things get in the way
Like commitment
Like second thoughts
Like fear
Or like the ocean

Birthdays they come and go
Some I remember
I think I might remember that one
Maybe not

And I took the long road home on purpose
A few more minutes to talk
About nothing for the last time
It was only then that I knew

Sometimes things get in the way
Like water
Like this stubborn heart
Like a fear, of devotion

Sometimes things get in the way
Like water
Like this wretched heart
Like a fear

Of a distance that’s real
It separates us
How could it do that to you?
‘Cause you, you, you’re a memory
