You Were Here

Are there no blinders on lights that blare
White noise on the eyes?
From gas station lights and reflected ice glare
So that I can walk home by moonlight alone

Or can we go out to where the wind howls
And stand alee against the trees
They've grown so tall that you can't see the house
It's a fortress now but you know how it used to be

I can lie to myself
And say I like it
But I would love it if you were here

Those words on paper smell like you
Assocaited in random thought
On my lips the words turn blue
Evidence I'm feeling lost

I can lie to myself
And say I like it
But I would love it if you were here

I'm just sad for myself
'Cause I know you're clear
But I would love it if you were here

I can just see you show me your garden
I thought you'd grow roses and grapes on low vines
I wanted to know you when we were both older
I thoguht there'd be more of those wonderful times

I can lie to myself
And say I like it
But I would love it if you were here

I'm just said for myself
'Cause I know you're clear
But I would love it if you were here
You were here
Yes, you were
Yes, you were
