Japanese Medicine

Those damp dark nights would call us

We'd meet up at the edge of town

Armed with cigarettes a radio and a flash light

We'd go out searching for old abandoned homes

Like us detached from the world

At least

Until the sun would rise

It all seems so long ago

At your first apartment

We'd meet up at the end of the day

Playing our favorite records and drinking the night away

We'd create a world of our own

No one seemed to understand

It's so long ago

But that's how I remember you

I always loved to hear your thoughts

As I put a problem out on display

When you'd tell me about your demons

We'd speak until we'd scare them away

All those weekends we'd go out to see our favorite bands

The endless search for a club but they never played the music we loved

I wish I never left you alone

With all those dark thoughts

Even though you never had a lot

You'd always share with me

Always out near the edge

Following a new goal or dream

I wish I never left you alone

With all those dark thoughts

It's so long ago

But that's how I remember you
