Upstanding Youth Echoes Of Joy
You’re not here so this song is just an echo of feelings
that I’ve felt since the day that you left me.
Now this emptiness consumes me, but this moment brings you back to me.
And talking politics and walks around the block.
I’ll stay awake ‘til the night turns into day writing songs
so I can understand this state of mind.
I’ll run back to the place where everything had started.
I’ll fast forward time so you’ll be here.
Old letters that remind me that you love me.
And these memories on lonely nights, they warm me.
Your green eyes are burned into my memory,
but this moment brings you back to me.
And talking politics and walks around the block.
