Lightbulb

Thought of you today in a lightbulb moment kind of way As I drove past familiar streets Close to where you live, probably at least once a week And it felt a little weird What's with tonight, for some reason Echoes of you resound in my mind What's with me, why am I incredibly sentimental To me you were Someone who's caring, has love overflowing When I couldn't sleep all alone, you stayed by my side I was in one bed and you're in another one across mine You were that guy I know There's so much history, although brief was surely rich Among these familiar streets Half of me wants to leave, half of me wants to linger still Cravings for company, beckoning, drawing me back in What's with tonight, for some reason Echoes of you resound in my mind What's with me, why am I incredibly sentimental To me you were Someone who's caring, has love overflowing When I couldn't sleep all alone, you stayed by my side I was in one bed and you're in another one across mine You were Someone who's passionate, thoughtful and funny You told horror stories, played pranks so I would smile I woke up to my favorite songs From the strumming of your guitar You were that guy I know I still remember everything clearly How have you been? What could have been between you and me was not meant to be Like satellites beaming from a different galaxy Flickers in the midst of eternity inevitably rushing back I wish these echoes could just go away as quickly as they came What's with tonight, for some reason Echoes of you resound in my mind What's with me, why am I incredibly sentimental To me you were Someone who's caring, has love overflowing When I couldn't sleep all alone, you stayed by my side I was in one bed and you're in another one across mine You were Someone who's passionate, thoughtful and funny You told horror stories, played pranks so I would smile I woke up to my favorite songs From the strumming of your guitar You were Someone so sweet, when there's no reason to be Hung out with me until all my friends arrived Those last few days together embedded in my mind You're still that guy Time to turn off the lights
