Sarah

The lyrics on the recorded version are more like this (one or two words near the beginning I'm not certain about):

When we first met we were kids We were wild, we were restless But after a while I grew coarse I grew cold, I grew reckless

I hold this memory I pulled you so close to me Whispering "Will we always have?"

Lately it feels like I'm sleeping And I just can't wake Pacing the floor Want to call, but I can't So I hang up

Sharing a seat on the train With a lady who's crying It's ruin(??) to me

Now I see just how young and scared I was Eyes closed tight, throwing punch after punch at the world Sarah, is it ever gonna be the same? Sarah, is it ever gonna be the same?

Said goodbye to all the places I used to call Said goodbye to all the faces I used to know Nothing lasts forever, I guess by now I should know I should know

There ain't a thing I can say That will ever repair And you who had so much advice And yet wouldn't share it

Maybe someday we will look back on this And we'll smile But now I can't bear it

Now I see just how young, how scared I was Eyes closed tight, throwing punch after punch at the world Sarah, is it ever gonna be the same? Sarah, is it ever gonna be the same?

Yeah, the lyrics I uploaded were from the original version that he was playing live in 2005.

The version on the album sucks ass. He ruined that song.

i believe it is...

Sharing a seat on the train With a lady who's crying It's ruined her make-up

beauty song.

it is "its ruined her makeup". if you listen closely, you can hear the "up" very faintly.

thank god that ray exists. what beauty he puts into the world.

I think the lyrics are based on a live performance recording:

When we first met we were kids, we were wild, we were restless And after a while, I grew coarse, I grew cold, I grew reckless I hold this memory, hold you so close to me, whispered, "Will we always last?" Lately it feels like I'm asleep and I just can't wake up Pacing the floor, want to call, but I can't so I hang up Sharing a seat on the train with a lady who's crying has ruined her make up

Now I see just how young, how scared I was Eyes closed tight, throwing punch after punch at the world Sarah, is it ever gonna be the same? Sarah, is it ever gonna be the same?

Said goodbye to all the places that I used to go Said goodbye to all the faces that I used to know Nothing lasts forever... I guess by now, I should know... I should know.

There ain't a thing I can say that will ever repair You had so much advice, and yet couldn't share. Maybe someday, we will look back on this and we'll smile, but right now I can't bear it.

Now I see just how young, how scared I was, Eyes closed tight, throwing punch after punch at the world. Sarah, is it ever gonna be the same? Sarah, is it ever gonna be the same?

I think he's thinking about when he told Sarah on the train his secret which is that he cheated on her. He's also explaining how it was when they were young before he became a jerk. The reason I think he cheated on her was how he became "coarse, cold, & reckless." All ways to describe someone who has not cared about your heart and cheated on the person they're supposed to love and whose heart they're supposed to take care of. Now he can't call her. He broke the relationship. He was "scared" and "young" and so he cheats in order to feel less freaked out about their relationship & make it less important to him. So now he's wondering if it's ever going to be the same.
