I'm alone
sitting with my empty glass
my four walls
follow me through my past
i was on a paris train
i emerged in london rain
and you were waiting there
swimming through apologies
i remember searching for the perfect words
i was hoping you might change your mind
i remember a soldier sleeping next to me
riding on the metro
you wore white
smiling as you took my hand
so removed
we spoke of wintertime in france
minutes passed with shallow words
years have passed and still the hurt
i can see you now
smiling as you pulled away
i remember the letter wrinkled in my hand
"i'll love you always" filled my eyes
i remember a night we walked along the seine
riding on the metro
i remember a feeling coming over me
the soldier turned, then looked away
i remember hating you for loving me
riding on the metro
sitting with my empty glass
my four walls
follow me through my past
i was on a paris train
i emerged in london rain
and you were waiting there
swimming through apologies
i was hoping you might change your mind
i remember a soldier sleeping next to me
riding on the metro
smiling as you took my hand
so removed
we spoke of wintertime in france
minutes passed with shallow words
years have passed and still the hurt
i can see you now
smiling as you pulled away
"i'll love you always" filled my eyes
i remember a night we walked along the seine
riding on the metro
the soldier turned, then looked away
i remember hating you for loving me
riding on the metro

it's a cover the original is by "berlin" +44 plays it on their current tour - i'll see them on wednesday and i'm VERY excited ...even though travis is already back in L.A. :(
they played this song on some shows. it's awesome!
funny how they do a cover that a band they've toured with does, Alkaline Trio. Get some original ideas already
System of a Down have covered this aswel.
+44 do a very, very good cover of this. Mark pulls it off much better then the original.

I have the alkaline trio and system of a down covers, i love that songggg.
