The Lover After Me Lyrics

Cover art for The Lover After Me lyrics by Savage Garden

wow, talk about a walk down memory lane including a fall that knocked garbage cans over and sprawling in the gutter!

I used to listen to this song on repeat for long durations of time back when i was in high school. it reminded me of this guy i was friends with at the time who seemingly forgot i existed, after we'd been friends for years. I'm happy to say i don't relate this to that moron anymore.

this is still one of my favorite songs of theirs. =P

"am I all alone in the universe? there's no love on these streets I have given mine away to a world that didn't want it anyway

so this is my new freedom! it's funny, I don't remember being chained,"

these lines make me think of when people say "oh, you didn't need that person in your life anyway!" or something to that effect, when at the time all you can feel is a giant gaping void in your life because of that person's absence. freedom my ass. =P
