I Know It Was Real
It feels like I've been walking
These city streets for too long
And it feels like each lamppost and each pavement crack
have become personal friends
And I know that it's wrong
I know it's wrong
It feels like I've been saying goodbye
To everything I've ever known
And I can't see my mother's eyes
And I can't remember that place I used to call home
But I've got to go
I need to go
I can't remember the last time I found someone
Who could really understand
And I don't ever remember being so happy
But I don't ever remember feeling this sad
But please can you help me
Because every time I see her face
I know that I'll think of her another year
And every time she holds me close
All of these feelings just reappear
Like a change in the season
Like a brand new day
Like a twist in the road
Of the bed where we lay
I don't think I'll ever forget
The way this one made me feel
Something I won't ever regret
I can't say it was good
I can't say it was bad
But I know it was real
These city streets for too long
And it feels like each lamppost and each pavement crack
have become personal friends
And I know that it's wrong
I know it's wrong
It feels like I've been saying goodbye
To everything I've ever known
And I can't see my mother's eyes
And I can't remember that place I used to call home
But I've got to go
I need to go
I can't remember the last time I found someone
Who could really understand
And I don't ever remember being so happy
But I don't ever remember feeling this sad
But please can you help me
Because every time I see her face
I know that I'll think of her another year
And every time she holds me close
All of these feelings just reappear
Like a change in the season
Like a brand new day
Like a twist in the road
Of the bed where we lay
I don't think I'll ever forget
The way this one made me feel
Something I won't ever regret
I can't say it was good
I can't say it was bad
But I know it was real
