Je Me Souviens

Je Me Souviens - Silverstein

Dear Mother can you hear my footsteps

I'm so close I'm right there

I'm almost home so unprepared

To notice yet ignore

How hard it is to be around you

I've came clean I'm washed out

I've flooded the engine stranded myself

This home native land

They speak in words I can't understand

So when I'm standing on this

Street like I have a hundred times

You don't even glance at

Me you just pass me by

I remember your face from the moment

I first saw you I never looked away

I'll never forget how you looked

That Saturday when you told me

We could never be together

And I could never change

Mother Mother is it you who's calling

Lights out lay down

We'll sleep when we're dead that time is now

But soft speak will drown out

How I can't do what's right around you

Cold breeze no coat

Excuses used to take words from my throat

False hope confirmed

Deceits a language I can't hope to learn

So when we're standing on this

Street like we have a hundred times

We will celebrate the years

You stalled and couldn't decide

I remember your face from the moment

I first saw you I never looked away

I'll never forget how you looked

That Saturday when you told me

We could never be together

And I could never change

I used to believe that every

Person had a purpose

In this swirling ball of

Indecision that consumes us all

I used to believe that every

Person had a person

They could always count on and

Not be scared of one for everyone

So when I'm standing on this street

Like I have a hundred times

Can I walk away and finally leave

Finally leave all of this behind

I remember your face from the moment

I first saw you I never looked away

I'll never forget how you looked

That Saturday when you told me

We could never be together

And I could never change

I remember your face from the moment

I first saw you I never looked away

I'll never forget how you looked

That Saturday when you told me

We could never be together

And I could never change
