"For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
So how should I presume?"
- T. S. Eliot
lyrics
your mother was right
I do not belong
a brand new book
in a forgotten tongue
you were on fire
yet you called me the sun
I stood stone still for an hour
and thought 'what have I done?
God, what have I done?'
I know that I
should have swallowed my pride
I know that I
I should have called just
one more time
It's the last thing I'll hear
It's the last thing I'll hear
but I know it's right
it's that nothing has changed
no nothing has changed
and you're still just fine
we went to the bay
there was sun in your eyes
the way you whispered my name
made me know you were mine
I've got all these grey hairs
not yet an adult
I know they're from you
I just don't tell anyone
I don't tell anyone
I know that I
should have swallowed my pride
I know that I
I should have called just
one more time
It's the last thing I'll hear
It's the last thing I'll hear
but I know it's right
it's that nothing has changed
no nothing has changed
and you're still just fine.
