lyrics

I have a picture-perfect memory
But only when there’s a photograph to remind me
And so you’ll always be sweetly smiling, standing next to me,
My head against your cheek

I have the day you first walked toward me
I keep it in a folder I have with the day you said goodbye
I have the kiss where you said “just in case”
You must have known that it would be the last

And all of these things I have, they don’t amount to much
They don’t really take up any physical space
And still they fill my heart, knowing that I have known you
I have known you
In another place

I have a suitcase full of dreams and pieces of steps to nowhere
Leading around in circles, some assembly required
And I have a box of frozen armor twisted into battle shapes from long forgotten wars
Long forgotten crusades and inquisitions
I have a well of forgiveness
It bubbles over every now and then
And I have the puddles under my feet
And I have every moment big and small that swells the rings of this tree
And I have your initials carved into my bark

And all of these things I have, they don’t amount to much
They don’t really take up any physical space
And still they fill my heart, knowing that I have known you
I have known you
In another place

I have a song I started writing years ago
No melody, no lyrics
Maybe it was always about you
Maybe it was always about you
