The Wild Reeds - Everything Looks Better (In Hindsight) lyrics

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 travels through memories My mind travels through memories I only remember the sweetest of these I only remember the sweetest of things Keep her close now, keep her happy, keep her wanted Don't desert her, oh, the way that you did me Cook her breakfast, share your music, tell your secrets Give it all like you never plan to leave Oh, 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 pa** down your bloodline and travel through song In an honest rememberance of you 'Cause I knew I could grow to love him But his walls came up too fast I was so strong in his presence But he left me for his 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 love that you had left By my bedside, on the table, to my left hand? Little traces are the proof that you exist
