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...
