To my first love; thank you for teaching me patience, how to skate, ensuring i'd eat, writing me cheesy letters, for sharing playlists, night walks, general walks really, trips in your green car and purity.
Consider this as the very last song I'd ever write about you, but never doubt the love i had, and perhaps still do. 'Trembling Hands' still stings, but not as much as before. It took me roughly 6 years to move on completely and realise the Love Lost. Tried to find you in almost everyone I went out with but it's time for me to stop.
Nevertheless, I treasure the Spam Burgers Not Bombs bookmark, and the notebook where you wrote the letters to this day.
This is your song.
Thank you and many happiness to you both.
I'm so proud of you.
lyrics
Skated by your house - you never knew
1996 - it was all blue
Went to your match after school
I was close to the wall - was so uncool
Driving towards the sunset - it was brand new
Blasted our anthem as we do
We were always sure there’ll always be time
Not knowing it can’t be fixed - in 1996
We don’t know - if we could ever
Let time go - again & again
I guess we’ll let it rest
In 1996
Nicotine patches didn’t help
Off to Morphine - sure as hell
Restless - riding shotgun till dawn
Not knowing it can’t be fixed - in 1996
We don’t know - if we could ever
Let time go - again & again
We don’t know - if we could ever
I guess we’ll let it rest
In 1996
