i find it stupid that we were taught
two negatives cancel out to be a positive
do two wrongs ever cancel out to be a right?
ages ago, i made two stupid mistakes
hooking up with you in the gallery and losing your number
but i bet you're doing just fine
it's been three years, counting the first
and it's depressing to think about but
my memories have started to fade with time
i can't remember the tilt of your smile
the curves of your dimples or the lilt of your accent
if your hometown was cambridge, quincy, or boston
i can't recall the feeling of your fingers woven through mine
or the warmth of your body pressed against mine
or the way my heart raced from your words
so i'll tuck away whatever's left of the good times
into a little chamber in my heart
let it simmer and boil and wait
until the day we find each other again
i'll keeping looking back and thinking
i'll keep looking back until i realize again
english is a strange language
red is a mesmerizing color
my guitar sounded better when you were playing it
two past events cancel out to form the present
only one of the two mistakes previously mentioned was stupid
and when i said i loved you, i meant it
