Lyrics

every song I wrote was you
not for you but in place of you
because you only gave me promise
when I needed something constant
I threw all those unfinished verses into the wind
and let them scatter
the hardest thing wasn’t losing you
it was just that it didn’t really matter

never trust a grapevine’s rattle
don’t let you heart become light
although it’s effortless to follow
an allusion ringing hollow
so I stared out at the traffic
and wondered how I could allow
the hardest thing wasn’t forgetting you
It’s remembering you now

slow enough not to see the changes
fast enough not to say goodbye

it’s better to have loved and lost
than to never have loved at all
so when the wind kicks up old stories
I just smile and let it carry me for awhile
