Things I've Lost
from Dream Arcade – EP by Dream Arcade
lyrics
Do you really think I’m gonna
Stop thinking about all the things I’ve lost?
Threw a few away back then
Lost all the others just by accident
Like when I was back in school
I was too nice, and she was too cool
Took me back to the gym
Scared me right into my skin
And my car was on
And her hair was long
And the sky was dark
But she wouldn’t go home
When the red lights flashed
I just couldn’t turn back
The radio static
The night was manic
And I was panicking, baby
At least now I know I’m prone
To turning my back on the things I want
Nothing can go as planned
Nothing I want can last
When was the last time
You shaped the world with your hands?
Just thank me
Thank me for that
This town just won’t let me leave
Your house isn’t there for me anymore
I think I see you on the street sometimes
When I want you, you will not be mine
This town just won’t let me leave
Stop thinking about all the things I’ve lost?
Threw a few away back then
Lost all the others just by accident
Like when I was back in school
I was too nice, and she was too cool
Took me back to the gym
Scared me right into my skin
And my car was on
And her hair was long
And the sky was dark
But she wouldn’t go home
When the red lights flashed
I just couldn’t turn back
The radio static
The night was manic
And I was panicking, baby
At least now I know I’m prone
To turning my back on the things I want
Nothing can go as planned
Nothing I want can last
When was the last time
You shaped the world with your hands?
Just thank me
Thank me for that
This town just won’t let me leave
Your house isn’t there for me anymore
I think I see you on the street sometimes
When I want you, you will not be mine
This town just won’t let me leave
