Lyrics

Feels like you’re daily less mine
We used to sit beneath the pear trees in our youth
Sisters in summer’s bloom
But your eyes kept wandering to the mountains
Oh how I longed to steal your daydreams
And hide them somewhere safe
Where I could learn them
Or maybe you would just forget

Your legs grow long and that’s fine
I always knew you’d grow to be the bigger man
And journey to far-off lands
But don’t forget who raised you that way
And don’t forget to take her along
And don’t forget who loved you first
I loved you first

Could I rewrite the memory?
Could I rewrite our story?
You would whisper secrets in my ear, your tears would soak my shirt
And our joy would be a sun that never sets

Seems like you’re happy to go
Yes he swept you off your feet that fateful day
I wished we could run away
But your charity was worse than knowing you could be so glad without me
Oh my dreadful heart
Has one part love, five parts anger, seven pride

Could I rewrite the memory?
Could I rewrite our story?
You would whisper secrets in my ear, your tears would soak my shirt
And our joy would be a sun that never sets

I wanted to be everything to you
But you already had everything
You already had everything
And all I had was you

Could I rewrite the memory?
Could I rewrite our story?
You would whisper secrets in my ear, your tears would soak my shirt
And our joy would be a sun that never sets

Could I rewrite the memory?
Could I rewrite our story?
You would whisper secrets in my ear, your tears would soak my shirt
And our joy would be a sun that never sets
