You Were Here

Are there no blinders on lights that glareWhite noise on the eyesFrom gas station lights and reflected ice glareSo that i can walk home by moonlightAloneOr can we go out to where the wind howls and stand to lean up against the treesThey've grown up so tall that you can't see the houseIt's a fortress now but you know how it used to beI can lie to myselfAnd say i like itBut i would love it if you were hereThese words on paper smell like youAssociated in random thoughtOn my lips the words turn blueEvidence i'm feeling lostI can lie to myselfAnd say i like itBut i would love it if you were hereI'm just sad for myselfCause i know you're clearBut i would love it if you were hereI can just see you show me your gardenI thought you'd grow roses and grapes on low vinesI wanted to know you when we were both olderI thought there'd be more of those wonderful timesI can lie to myslefAnd say i like itBut i would love it if you were hereI'm just sad for myselfCause i know you're clearBut i would love it if you were hereYou were hereYes you wereYes you were
