Remember When

[intro] So here you stand before the cameras to report on your trip through outer space. All you know is, yes, it’s still pitch black and they can tell by the stupid look upon your face, like a warden stares at a broken chain and knows it’s too late to learn from a mistake. Nothing to do but hope and wait…. So you hope and wait. Oh, replace things that vanish. Cut down what grows. Must be more than this before the show… ends, and you’re in your quiet room again with a head stuck on what if and remember when… Oh, what if and remember when. So here you run through the shadows, dodging searchlights tree to tree in a dream you can’t wake up from, no. You’re a person you don’t know but don’t want to be, like shattered glass from a window into the past where you drank iced tea under these trees and you laughed… back when you laughed. Must be more than this before the show… ends, and you’re in your quiet room again with a head stuck on what if and remember when… Oh, what if and remember when.

So here you are where you remember the pool hall at seventeen, fumbling for quarters in the pockets of your jeans, ya. The king of nothing,.. but you were still a king, like an astronaut struts into the great unknown who doesn’t know he will return but can’t come home… No, he can’t come home. Oh, replace things that vanish. Cut down what grows. Must be more than this before the show… ends, and you’re in your quiet room again with a head stuck on what if and remember when… Oh, what if and remember when. What if and remember when. Woah, oh oh oh remember when. [end] but can’t come home… No, he can’t come home. Oh, replace things that vanish. Cut down what grows. Must be more than this before the show… ends, and you’re in your quiet room again with a head stuck on what if and remember when… Oh, what if and remember when. What if and remember when. Woah, oh oh oh remember when. [end]
