Everything Looks Better In Hindsight - The Wild Reeds

When you wake up in the morning are you lonely?

To find only the items I had left

By your bedside, on the table, to your right hand?

Little traces are the proof that I exist

Looking back now I can see your clear green eyes

In that old shed with the string lights, you reside

With the swing set stuck above you in the rafters

And the books and the records on each side

And the books and the records on each side

I knew I could grow to love him

But his walls came up too fast

I was strong in his presence

But he left me for the past

Now will he ever stop haunting me and let me go?

My mind travels through memories

My mind travels through memories

I only remember the sweetest of these

I only remember the sweetest things, Hey!

So keep her close now, keep her happy, keep her wanted

Don’t desert now the way that you did me

Cook her breakfast, share your music, tell your secrets

Give it all like you never plan to leave

Oh, did you plan to leave?

And I tell you, friends, it was easier then

To give your heart away

Before home became broken and eager to love

I gave it all with haste

So if you’re telling a story, especially of heartache

It better ring out true

To pass down your bloodline and travel through song

In an honest rememberance of you

'Cause I knew I could grow to love him

But his walls came up too fast

I was so strong in his presence

But he left me for his past

Now will he ever stop haunting me and let me go?

Will he ever say goodbye to me?

I’ve been on my own

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

So when you wake up in the morning are you lonely?

To find only the love that you had left

By my bedside, on the table, to my left hand?

Little traces are the proof that you exist
