Everything Looks Better (In Hindsight)

When you wake up in the morning, are you lonely

To find only the items I had left?

By your bedside on the table to your right hand

Little traces are the proof that I exist

Looking back now I can see your clear green eyes

In that old shed with the string lights you reside

With the swing set stuck above you in the rafters

And the books and the records on each side

And the books and the records on each side

I knew I could grow to love him but his walls came up too fast

I was strong in his presence but he left me for the past

Now will he ever stop haunting me and let me go?

My mind should lose their memories

My mind should lose their memories

I only remember the sweetest of things

I only remember the sweetest things

So keep her close now, keep her happy, keep her wanting

Don't desert now, the way that you did me

Cook her breakfast,share your music, tell your secrets

Give it all like you never plan to leave

Or' did you plan to leave?

And I tell your friends it was easier than to give your heart away

Before it all became broken and eager to love, I gave it all with haste

So if you're telling your story especially of heartache, it better ring out true

To pass down your bloodline and travel through song

In an honest remembrance of you

'Cause I knew I could grow to love him but his walls came up too fast

I was strong in his presence but he left me for the past

Now will he ever stop haunting me and let me go?

Will he ever say goodbye to me? I've been on my own

So when you wake up in the morning are you lonely

To find only the loves that you had left?

By my bedside on the table to my left hand

Little traces are the proof that you exist
