lyrics

Story:

A few uneventful years crawl by and one night Charlie gets good and wasted.
He goes to the open mic and performs an angry, half remembered rendition of the song he heard Audrey sing all those years ago.
All those years later?
Time travel is obnoxious.



Lyrics:

You remember where you're from. See the the sign which spells out 'all walk-ins are welcome', and she's there in that perfect scene, and finally sighing you wake up from this dream.

And with trees whipping by, speeding toward a fake memory.
Just another hazy tint. A glimpse into the last hollow home, and with my hand tires and shaking, your half hearted smile stabs at my memory (LIKE A FUCKING ICEPICK!!!!!!!!!!!!) and all because of you, I don't care if this world explodes.

But as bored lovers sighed in their seats, I just sat, and laughed, and then saw you, and all your beautiful tragedy, but now even that's gone, and something else. My broken metaphors could never reveal your true self, and all that you were, but that was then, and of course it is always right now, and that you is gone somehow.

Yeah, speeding down the road, unencumbered by anyone's load. But how I wish you luggage it could weigh me down, cuz I can almost hear the sound of my old life coming into light. Leaving me stranded in the night. For I was always meant to be alone, lost, and strung out at sea. Yeah, I will always be the one looking after you long after I'm gone.
