Things I Wish I'd Never Seen

from Jimmy & the Moon by The Stephen Stanley Band

lyrics

THE THINGS I WISH I’D NEVER SEEN
On this street there is a scene that we’ve been caught up in between
And all the pictures of you that I wish I’d never seen

Come flowing back into my brain every time you walk away
And there’s this poison line that runs between us every time

I don’t know if I want to hold you or charge you with a crime

You had your hair pulled back again and I can’t get you off my mind
You have changed and I have been moving slow but I love you just the same, just the same
And every drink and every line, that voice that serves to undermine

Today, if someone were to ask, she used to be a friend of mine

But I’m still stuck on the tomorrows that we had; without a doubt they’ve fallen behind
And now I curse the printed page, I curse the digital age

And every picture of you that wanders past me unengaged

There was a time not long ago that I never was afraid; now I fear every day
If this seems strange
I’d eat these words and never mention it again
But that really wouldn’t change a thing...
And you may be gone, that’s the thing

I don’t even know where you’ve been, or where you’re going to, or if we’ll ever talk again
Behind your name there is a song that I’ll be singing all along

And if my voice should start to crack, it doesn’t mean that I’m not strong

It’s just the heartbeat in my temples went too long and all the blood rushed to my head
I don’t expect it anymore, but if you did walk through that door

I don’t know if my eyes would focus or if I’d turn them to the floor
You always said it would get better, and I hope it has for you
And every day I tell myself it’s okay, but it really hasn’t changed a thing...
