Clutch

what good is remembering
when the thought of you tears at the seams of every dream that i've built since then
it could be anything
could be standing on a corner in china and somebody will say your name
i thought i was stronger than that
when i was young older people would reminisce, i'd say "no, that's not me"
that's not me, it's you, it's always been
your ghost just will not rest
walking the horizon line
in my favorite summer dress
do you remember when i broke your clutch
and you threw both your shoes at me
talking your brother into buying us wine
'cause we didnt have any ID
what was so rough
was it the freedom that freaked us out
now nobody's free
and there's so much we could do without
we could live in a dream
live in a dream
live in a dream
live in a dream
what good is remembering
got me standing on the present moment like an island in an endless sea
we can only go sailing out
drawing circles in circles but there's no safe harbor out there for me
i thought i was smarter than that
thought that i could live two lives at once while other suckers they just lived one
what's the moment in your life
that you just would not trade
if you had a time machine
would you go back there today
do you remember when you kissed me so hard
that you chipped both of my front teeth
counting my cigarettes and spacing them out
trying to make them last all week
what was so rough
was it the freedom that freaked us out
now nobody's free
and there's so much we could do without
we could live in a dream
baby we could work it out
we could live in a dream
maybe we could work it out
we could live in a dream
live in a dream
live in a dream
live in a dream
