lyrics

I’ve been lacking in substance lately, I've grown too familiar with
The smell of the sun-kissed concrete in the city that I’m in.
I sold your artwork on the Internet, that canvas made me sick;
The one with the hole in - of the blue & the pigeon -
It’s distinctly in-different.


I’ll count-up the plans I’ve had, make the most of my two hands,
I’ll write down what’s making me thankful for life and scratch out what makes me mad.

'cus this has gone on for far too long.
You know you’re not wrong, just too far gone.


And it seems such a shame to let your talent go to waste,
So I’ll keep it on the backseat with a bouquet just in case,
I see your face in a crowded room, I can’t seem to shake all these thoughts of you.
I’ll stand here forever, In John Cusack weather, asking myself:
“Will she always remember me?”


Been struggling lately, since I moved into my own place.
I got out the centre of town, I never liked the nightlife anyway.
Got vinyl’s still in boxes, I never had enough storage.
I guess the baggage that you left me would never fit into this space.


I’ll count up the plans I’ve had, make the most of my two hands.
I’ll throw out the towel that you got me last year, It can’t wipe off a stain this bad.

(I’ve Got Real Big Plans and I’m not running away…)
I’ve got photographs from a decade ago I don’t think that I’ll burn them anytime soon,
(I’ve Got real big plans!)
I still remember the last thing you said when you were leaving:

“Aren’t you tired of seeing my bedroom?”

And it seems such a shame to let your talent go to waste,
So I’ll keep it on the backseat with a bouquet just in case
I see your face in a crowded room.
I can’t seem to shake all this self-abuse.
I’ll stand here forever, In John Cusack weather, asking myself:

“Will she always remember me?”
