You Were Here
Sarah Harmer - You Were Here
are there no blinders on lights that blarewhite noise on the eyes
from gas station lots and reflected ice glares
so that i can walk home by moonlight alone
can we go up to where the wind howls
and stand alee against the trees
they've grown up so tall that you can't see the house
it's a fortress now but you know how it used to be
i could lie to myself and say i like it
but i would love it if you were here
these words on paper smell like you
associated and random thought
on my lips words turn blue
evanescent feeling lost
i could lie to myself and say i like it
but i would love it if you were here
i'm just sad for myself because i know you're clear
but i would love it if you were here
i can just see you show me your gardens
i thought you'd grow roses and grapes on low vines
i wanted to know you when we were both older
i thought there'd be more of those wonderful times
i could lie to myself and say i like it
but i would love it if you were here
I'm just sad for myself because i know you're clear
but i would love it if you were here
you were here
yes you were
