movies about animals - sam the lion كلمات الأغنية

i woke up to the strangest city
i could hardly spell out her name
from fever dreams of a clear summer sky
now distorted in its crooked rooftop frame
walked down to the corner
hid amongst the faces waiting for the downtown train
where i brushed shoulders with a memory
of driving home in a van full of voices gone ho-rs-
from the songs that they loved to sing
and nothing’s really been right since

i tried to get lost somewhere else in the world
and found i felt more at home
changing faces as i crossed borders
into places i swore i’d never go
but that’s when it hit me
the deepest ties can be cut to the bone
what separates us is we hold on
like you held the phone to your ear as i crashed to the floor
in a fit i could not control
and nothing’s really been right since

you searched for it in a song or an empty parking lot
where we ran in circles around our cars
and thought we might be like those kids in the movies
but the promise was still miles away
they didn’t know any better than i did what it would take
to keep my foot from the brake
and keep my eyes upon the road
where i saw metaphors for the state of the world in traffic patterns
the way jesus fish on bumpers swerve around to beat the m-sses
well the irony’s not lost on me
no, i’m not exempt
i’m just a cynical kid digging my heels into the floor of this car
looking for any excuse ever since
it put out the fire in my heart that was lit by a spark
when the flower shop closed down

i swear i tore down these walls and ran away
and the whole place burned to the ground
and when i heard that you were slipping away
i didn’t run back home, i was too afraid
i’ve never been too good at goodbye
somewhere down on north and broadway avenue
i spent almost every afternoon with you
wish i could be half the man you were
how you lived simply, how you worked with grace
how you joked, “kid, someday you’ll own this place”
how you held it all together
though it sometimes failed you

nothing’s really been right since
nothing’s really been right since
nothing’s really been right since
nothing’s really been right since
nothing’s really been right since
nothing’s really been right since
nothing’s really been right since
and truth be told, i ain’t been right since

in the darkness there’s a light that shines down on the street
and that is where i told her she could always find me
but when she came calling out my name
on that desperate winter night
i stood just out of sight and watched as she let that feeling die
you’ve seen me hiding in the shadows cast over my face
as i walk home from my latest mistake
do you remember?
do you remember?
do you remember?
do you remember?
do you remember the boy who cried on the fourth of july?
in that house full of people, he wanted to die
it seemed so silly at the time
but you could never really shake
the first time your frail, faithful heart would ever truly break
and i awoke the next day with a gaping hole in my chest
the pain was gone
but it took with it a part of me i could never get back
or the boy who came crawling back much stronger than before?
or the boy left shaking and cold outside your door?
do you remember the boy who fell in love with a girl
halfway across the world?
it was just a p-ssing dream
his last chance to hold on to anything
and it meant everything
do you remember?

i’m moving on
(we do what we can to keep our names alive)
this train is moving on
(do you remember?)
for something new
(we do what we can to keep our names alive)
to sing a different song
(do you remember?)
i’m moving on
(we do what we can to keep our names alive)
i’m moving on
(do you?)
