lyrics
Places I keep missing the faces
Of the friends I used to know
Where did the years all go?
Never ending recollections keep creeping in
Every corner and boulevard
Back in the old schoolyard
Life is cruel
Wish I was making the rules
Wish that I could put those happy times in little cans
And keep them near and close at hand
All of those moments they shouldn’t go away
So, I’d be constantly happy
Even the failures could last another day
It’s everything that I’m missing
Forever I need them to make it better
I love them all
Whatever I wish they would leave me never
Traces of those Saturday kisses
Like the sand washes over me
Tell me could it really be
That places hold inside of them memories
Watch them all roll out to sea
Only you ever had the key
Life is cruel
Wish I was making the rules
Wish that I could put those happy times in little cans
And keep them near and close at hand
All of those moments they shouldn’t go away
So, I’d be constantly happy
Even the failures could last another day
It’s everything that I’m missing
Forever I need them to make it better
I love them all
Whatever I wish they would leave me never
After I stream an album a certain number of times, I feel I gotta go buy it. I passed that threshold on this one long ago. Such a perfect record. marktrainer
