Hey Susan Lyrics
hello
how are you?
it's been such a long, long time
come in
let's get closer
flash that famous smile
I've been thinking of you
since we've been apart
sweeping up the shavings
off my wooden heart
I know
some things change
but I wanna feel the way
I did with you that day
in l.a.
so, welcome
to a new york afternoon
we could watch the light fade
in my humble room
I know
some things wane
but I wanna feel the way
I did that summer day
in l.a.
from the hills above
we saw the valley below
and the ocean's endless blue
was it just because
I was so close to gone
my emotion rang it in true?
hey susan
do you wanna know?
what I've been through
on this other coast?
'cause I know
I'm not the same
but I wanna feel that way
I know
some things change
but I wanna steal a page
from that summer day
in l.a.
I wanna feel the way
I did with you that day
in l.a. ...
how are you?
it's been such a long, long time
come in
let's get closer
flash that famous smile
since we've been apart
sweeping up the shavings
off my wooden heart
some things change
but I wanna feel the way
I did with you that day
in l.a.
to a new york afternoon
we could watch the light fade
in my humble room
some things wane
but I wanna feel the way
I did that summer day
in l.a.
we saw the valley below
and the ocean's endless blue
was it just because
I was so close to gone
my emotion rang it in true?
do you wanna know?
what I've been through
on this other coast?
I'm not the same
but I wanna feel that way
some things change
but I wanna steal a page
from that summer day
in l.a.
I did with you that day
in l.a. ...

the last verse is pretty much how I feel in a nutshell at any given time, and probably will be how I feel at any given time for many years to come, i guess. a song about longing for one of the best days he can remember, and wishing things could go back to that. at least he's got the time capsule of his memory, i guess.
I love how the part during "...and from the hills above, we saw the valley below..." sounds like a camera panning up as the sun rises over the ocean.
