I remember your eyes, nearly in tears
A ****** Mary statue is watching the scene
She heartily approves of this...two weirdos at 17
I remember another time
That thankfully will never come back

I remember playing Taboo at our friend's house
I remember broken laughter
Having nothing at all
But I hadn't seen light
I merely held a bulb

And now you talk to me, and I feel strange
Again
You don't know the path I had to walk
To get
How to tell you what has been?
I am taking the wrong side again
I cannot even dare to think

How to tell you about how much I gained and I lost?
My mind bends and distorts
The river I crossed on my own
The hell I had to endure

So I felt odd talking to you
Good, but not as good
As I felt following
the soft curves
As I feel now and did not do
As I simply let go
of myself and find my soul
