Call it insignificant, when I met you on the Summer of '95,
I fell in love with you, the night your band played live,
Cherry-picked so graphically, dunno how it happened so magically,
I fell in love with you and saw you every night.
~
We made love and music, touched base with Heaven.
You see a photograph, I see a shard of Heaven.
~
I knew all your songs from front to back,
Knew how you started out small, your pride in tact,
How you'd toss yourself into the crowd,
I watched you fade away, your future loud,
How you'd fade away, your voice would drown.
~
The band would party but we'd talk all night,
and the world was ours until daylight.
The band passed out but we'd talk all night,
and you were mine until daylight.
~
That Saturday night you said time flies,
I lit a cigarette while you put one out,
In a caravan bed looked in my eyes,
said 'I'm flying out tomorrow night',
said 'I might come back and I'll come see you',
said 'I might come back I'll see you soon'.
~
Said he might come back but he left for good.
How twenty years sure takes a toll on something so damn magical.
Said he might come back but he never did.
How the years sure take a toll on something so damn beautiful.
~
Said he might come back but he left for good,
Though he left for good it was for the best.
