The same song's playing on the radio.
The same song I heard back in ninety four.
When I was just a child.
Playing cowboys running wild.
Nostalgia sets in about half past ten.
Nursing a blister from my old fountain pen.
Ink's running dry.
How did the day up and pass me by?
Living my life out of a shoebox full of old photos.
Ticket stubs and notes and secrets I wont expose.
Thoughts explode.
Flashbacks and memories.
Foes now friends.
Friends now enemies.
Stepping out in fair weather.
Vintage shades matched with worn leather.
A dead mans jacket on my back.
I breathe it in and think of Jack.
Days we'd spend skipping school.
Chasing fame and shooting pool.
Changing strings on my guitar, thinking of the first I ever had.
Strumming dead notes, driving everybody mad.
Songs that I would sing for T.
Underneath that fruitless apple tree.
Someone finally chopped it down.
Now it's dusky vacant ground.
Looking up at a clear blue sky.
Almost as deep as Sara's eyes.
Remember when we'd ride bikes on her birthday in July.
Now she's married to a stately guy.
Getting changed by an antique mirror.
I still look like me, just a touch less clearer.
I woke up one day and everything changed.
But deep down...
I still feel the same.
