about

I borrowed a cuatro from one Gregory Brown on the West Coast and I tried it on this song and a fresh magic spell was cast.

lyrics

Funny thing happens with the ones that look like you
Those I pass in the street
Logic says I should look away
Those are the eyes I’m tryna meet

When I see kids with their backpacks it reminds me of those days
Of classes, rabbits and grasses
Those little lies we used to say

Don’t worry baby, I’m not going anywhere, you know I’ll stay
You’ll never have to miss me
Cause you know I’ll stay

It’s going on spring now, not fall
Another winter survived
I feel cold ‘cause I miss you
Make no mistake, I’m much more than alive

Trouble is, a break up’s like a death
Someone you loved that you can no longer see
We should hold a service
And set each other free

Are you free?

Fog’s so thick today, I can’t see the lake
I wanna float on the grey
I gotta be alone, I’m turning monastic
You took from me all you could take

Turns out I’m not cut out for the tv crews, the make up, the lights, the interviews
And the painted woman with the microphone makes me want to
Run run run
All the way home

Maybe I should get a backpack and some sneakers
Play my mix tapes on some stereo speakers
I ask you, where does the time go

Where does it go / go go go / Where does it go

Funny thing happens with the ones that look like you
Logic says I should look away
Look away...
