'93 Or '94

'93 or '94

When your father won his war

All the walls stopped closing in

But he had gotten used to them

And you had gotten used to me

I knew it in the month of you

In the middle of your living room

I could see it in your face, how slow you moved

You read it in a magazine

The strangest thing you'd ever seen

You were only nineteen

When you held your breath to try

Underwater, open eyes

In the hotel of your dreams

Where everything was clean

But you'd forgotten how to see

All that you want, all that you need

I knew it in the month of you

In the middle of your living room

I could see it in your face, how slow you moved

You read it in a magazine

The strangest thing you'd ever seen

You were only nineteen

You were only nineteen

You were only

I wish that I'd known

That I would find great love

That I would find great love

I wish that I'd known

I wish that I'd known

That I would find great love

That I would find great love

I wish that I'd known
