lyrics

(The) Deja vu tripped you in your strut

nostalgic dreams can mess you up

a bitter cold sense of warmth

vague familiar ghosts fly in circles around your head

bringing back your hope up from the dead

I tend to forget, I tend to forget

Wish I could I say I knew I was wrong

I've been gone for way too long

Write to myself a prodigal song

I've been gone for way too long

Away from yourself you strayed too far

memories trapped in vcrs

the taste of light in words you write are brief escapes (a brief escape)

Somehow got lost, somewhere I did

Such innocence when we were kids

I tend to forget, I tend to forget

High and Low

I imagine inside of my soul

hidden in the basement hangs a rose, pastel painted picture

Wish I could I say I knew I was wrong

I've been gone for way too long

Write to myself a prodigal song

I've been gone for way too long
