From the recording Meanwhile I Love You
Lyrics
If you could see backward through me, you wouldn't need me gone.
Up in the trees, shooting the breeze, that was the me you'd want.
I got my kicks picking up sticks, called em my lucky strikes.
If I erased all time and space, we'd smoke em side-by-side.
Lifetime ago, I wasn't so the way that I've been.
I wish that you had known her too. You would've been friends.
Running in grass, trains I could pass, magical as can be.
Having no plans freed up my hands for castles of sand and sea.
I was a bird, wind in my shirt, laughed til it hurt my head.
If I erased all time and space, you'd see a face you'd get.
If I could love you like the way I was yesterday, we'd be better of tomorrow.
If I could love you like the days I was unafraid, I'd a never caused you sorrow.
Lifetime ago, I wasn't so the way that I've been.
I wish that you had known her too. You would've been friends.
I know that rage is all the rage. I was your age one time.
If I erased all time and space, you'd see your face in mine.
If I could love you like the way I was yesterday, we'd be better of tomorrow.
If I could love you like the days I was unafraid, I'd a never caused you sorrow.
Lifetime ago, I wasn't so the way that I've been.
I wish that you had known her too. You would've been friends.
