" I close my eyes but I can't rest. My body is tired, my mind is wandering. From the past to the east to the west. Trying to take up the blame, you've already taken from me. Can anyone tell me how we learn to live with ourselves?"

you look like something familiar
and smell like summers past
reminding me of all the times
I couldn't make love last
and maybe the past is still too close
i cant get it out of my mind
while the paints still wet
i will try to make the best of the moments
that still stand there like a sign
fixed in the present but seeing only the past
how could i ever think of more?
but i will never regret the moments that ive spent
thinking of the day you came through that door
