What were you doing
In 1982
I swear I remember you
Oh my god it’s true
I had the biggest crush on you
You went away
I had to stay
In that dead end job
I felt so uncool
When you went back to school
You had adventures
I had mine
In darkness and in light
With all the changes over time
You were always on my mind
Why at this time of our lives
Are we here today?
Maybe I’ll stop referring to you
As the one who got away.
You got a new name
But you’re still the same
Neither of us had a clue
I was standing right next to you
I want to hear what you’ve been through
We’ll have to get together soon
Talk about what’s old and new
And I still have that crush on you

We're Cinematic

We’re cinematic
We’re good
I know we’ll be in touch
We’re cinematic
You’re nice
You’re easy to talk to and
They could make a movie about us
Was I surprised by your invitation
Imagine my elation
When I found out who you were
The legendary girl from my past and at
Last we meet again
Maybe we’ll be friends
Or possibly something more
Cause I’m not quite as shy as before
We’ll do museums and lunch
Take in a movie and such
It appears this affair is set
And we haven’t even talked on the telephone yet

Playing in Stereo

This is cool, it’s great
It’s more than I hoped for
It’s meant to be, it’s fate
And that’s what we’re here for
What will be, will be, but I don’t know
I’m daydreaming all the time
Imagining scenarios
When you say what I think
We’re playing in stereo
We’re different channels in sync
Playing in stereo
The stars align, it’s a sign
It’s part of our astronomy
We get along, I see
According to astrology
This is amazing, and sublime
The chance of a lifetime
My thoughts are racing overtime
But everything will be fine
When you say what I think
We’re playing in stereo
We’re different channels in sync
Playing in stereo

Swept Away
04:08

She has the grace of Grace Kelly
the elegance and poise
And the serenity of the Dalai Lama
Has she the same effect on other boys?
The infinity of clear blue skies
Are no deeper than her eyes
Her voice is liquid silver
with all the brilliance which that implies
Nobody but you could take my breath away
Nobody but you could make me feel that way
Nobody but you could lead my heart astray
How could anyone not be swept away
She has a glow that’s supernatural
An aura that sets her apart
Her beauty is extemporal
Not the result of any art
Nobody but you could take my breath away
Nobody but you could make me feel that way
Nobody but you could lead my heart astray
How could anyone not be swept away

Miracle
04:01
|
|||
Lost and found
You came around
One door closes
Another opens
We reminisce
On years we missed
My disbelief
You’re next to me
Is this heaven
It’s beautiful
Should I question
A miracle
I wonder if
I deserve this gift
From the past
Will it last
If I’m dreaming
Of our first kiss
Am I making
Too much of this
Is this heaven
It’s beautiful
Should I question
A miracle
I won’t question
This miracle

When I Met You
04:25
|

What I know I could fit inside of a shotglass
I’m a bore I’m a drag I’m a drip I’m an outcast
I could make you a sign but I can’t draw a straight line
I’m alone in a crowd I’m at home when I’m out of town
I can do no wrong when I’m with you
I hear a beautiful song when I’m with you
The sun looks bright when I’m with you
It’s Saturday night when I’m you
Now I’m broke when I woke I felt all kinds of down and out
I’m confused and diffused I’m afraid and I’m full of doubt
What the hell I can tell when a good thing has gone astray
Should have know it was too good to be true anyway
I could do no wrong when I met you
I wrote that song when I met you
The sun looked bright when I met you
It was Saturday night when I met you

Bad Timing
03:19
|
|||
We were working on a single heart
But it fell apart
Bad timing
How did i go from kissing her
To missing her
Bad timing
She’s into photography
And all the other arts
I’m into her geography
That’s how it starts
I never met a girl like her
She’s so unique
I hang onto her every word
Whenever she speaks
We were working on a single heart
But it fell apart
Bad timing
How did i go from kissing her
To missing her
Bad timing
I wonder how long this break will last
And when it ends
Could we ever become something more
Than just old friends
When love gives you a gift
You must beware
The dark side of a miracle
Might be your worst nightmare
We were making a single heart
Now it’s torn apart
Bad timing
How did i go from kissing her
To missing her
Bad timing

I never learn
I never pay attention
I always get burned
and end up in detention
It’s like I’m asleep
I miss all the signals
Then I’m in too deep
And I face dismissal
I’m not unlucky
I’m a dropout from the school of love
I didn’t learn anything at all
I’m going nowhere
They’re not gonna graduate
The one they could not educate
My brain is a sieve
It has no retention
Mistakes I relive
Land me in suspension
When I think love is real
Then my fate is sealed
Once again I’ve been fooled
I just can’t be schooled
I’m not unlucky
I’m a dropout from the school of love
I didn’t learn anything at all
I’m going nowhere
They’re not gonna graduate
The one they could not educate

I found the note
You wrote your number on
I never phoned you
I was afraid to
Loneliness is safe
What did it cost you?
What did you want to say?
I would have lost you anyway
When I’m alone I’m safe
We’re from the same side of the river
There isn’t anything I wouldn’t give her
To help her get back here
I’ll keep the pathway clear
When will we run out of time?
Do I ever even cross your mind?
What’s up with this waiting game?
I’m dying but I keep that flame
Burning in your name
We’re from the same side of the river
There isn’t anything I wouldn’t give her
To help her get back here
I’ll keep the pathway clear
I missed the last train out of nowhere
Now I’m lost searching for somewhere
Maybe it’s for the best
I can’t find your address

I Already Died
04:25
|
|||
I’m alive but I already died from a broken heart
The psychic asked me
What was it that enchanted you so
I said the silver of her voice
The cyan in her eyes
Her skin of alabaster
But especially the glow
That made her different
From everything I know
No regret
I’m still astonished how we met again
As random as roulette
I cannot forget
That moment in December
When the mention of a word made us remember
I hear them whisper
They think I’ve changed
I’m alive but I already died
From a broken heart
New Year’s day
Lost entirely for words to say
You said for both of us
I know we’ll be in touch
Opening the door to
The possibility of me with you
I never saw
March would bring a reason to withdraw
That frozen February
Was warmer than this spring
When life is solitary
And your absence is the by far the coldest thing
Out of the blue
I conjure up the thought of you
I hear the silver of your voice
See the cyan in your eyes
Kiss your skin of alabaster
Feel the pain of never knowing what comes after
I hear them whisper
They think I’ve changed
I’m alive but I already died
From a broken heart
