New England

If I saw you today,

would you think the things I'm thinking?

If I saw you today,

would you feel the way I'm feeling?

The stars shined brighter through the lens of our love

and even though we played the odds

I guess it still was not enough

for you.

 

Is there some other way

for me to stand my own reflection?

Is there some other way,

other than self destruction?

Well these sleepless nights make me forget our reverie

but the cigarette between my fingers

brings me closer to the memories

of you.

 

Do the New England stars

shine any brighter without me?

Do the New England stars

dance for you profoundly?

From Oklahoma they get darker every day

and here I am

searching for temporal escaping from the pain

I thought was caused by you,

but really was caused by me.

 

Should I say goodbye

to you?
