lyrics

I remembered your number in a dream
but I couldn’t tell if we were on the same team
‘cause I couldn’t see your eyes or remember the old times
but I still heard your words cut through me

So I called just to see how you were
or to recover my vision left blurred
or to trace back the fears that I faced through the years
and remedy the pain they’ve incurred.

A day or two later it’s gone,
but the feeling remains in a song.
Nothing else is left that can be beaten to death
it’s already been beaten too long.

We’ve all got people in our lives
that we’ll forget about after some time
but their image is burned, so they’ll all get their turn
to come back to the front of our minds.

I can miss you and not want you back
or the years of our lives that we shared
And I’m sure you don’t either, that’s why it’s hard to
believe her when she promises that she’ll always come back.
‘Cause I heard it before when you walked out the door
and I knew that you weren’t coming back.

We’ve all got people in our lives
that we’ll forget about after some time
But their image is burned, so they’ll all get their turn
to come back to the front of our minds.
