Dedicated to Val

lyrics

"When I was only ten
the season would end
and I'd forgotten the feel of summer on my skin,

but now the air remains.
I'm the one that changed,
and winter's just a word I used to say.

The years pass like flies,
I forget the passerby's,
memory's a story I can't tell.

A stranger smiled at me,
I blinked and didn't see.
Bowed my head and went on my way.

When I was just nineteen
I never thought I'd see
someone wanting less and somehow getting more.

I supposed it wasn't me
and that peace of mind wasn't free,
and no one could prepare for what might come.

But the years passed like flies
I forgot the passerby's,
and memories were stories I could tell.

The feeling's all the same.
I'm the one that changed,
bowed my head and went on my way.

*whistles*

So can we just pretend
we know how it will end.
Everyone will get everything they want

and every day is new
and I spend them all with you
happy to be with my friend.
Happy to be with my friend."
