John

Oh john it's 1984

Crying on the bathroom floor

I always thought wed be so much more

Now pain is all I remember you for

 

Its too heavy too heavy to carry this weight

These feelings erode my heart and soul

I haven't lifted a pen for years

I was too afraid I was too alone

 

And I recall sleeping in your car

In the gas station lot just down from the bar

I knew it was love but I'd gone too far

I wished on you like a shooting star

 

Now the years go by and you haunt my mind

Listening to the songs that we left behind

Oh john if I could hold you one more time

You always told me that I'd be fine

 

But god how I miss you 

Like a pouring rain

You touched me in a way

I will never be the same
