Lyrics I wrote long ago about someone I once knew. About a night that happened many moons ago and falling in love without being in love. Friendships come and go, it hurts to move on but this was meant to be about accepting what life brings us and moving forward from heartache and letting go of bitterness. I value our friendship for what it was. Over the course of writing it became about hope and finding new love and after many revisions became the following piece.I thought it's be nice to share it with the Internet as well as remind myself of a cold hallows night when we were still young and life made so much sense and that it is possible to find new love. Side note, this was meant to be more simple acoustic and folk inspired influenced by iron and wine however, I never got to the instrumental. Now these are just words on a page [ screen ] that I hold on to and learn from.
Look me in the eye, tell me you don't remember
A pirate and her lady friend laughing into the night sky
As stars and moons, hung above us
When your eyes met mine and you held me close, said you'd never let go
Sitting side by side weaving cigarette smoke in circles around each others hearts
Playing guiter, whispering words we'd never repeat
Secrets we'd keep, in the backseat of a worn out car parked on an empty street.
And I miss you, Do you miss me? Can I see you one last time,
Before she takes you away again, can we pretend?
Share our last cigerette and goodbye a sweeter way?
Darling, I'm dying for you to stay [I'm dying, please stay]
I know when I let go, life will bring us together another day
Look me in the eye and tell me you don't remember
A young boy and his lady friend laughing up at the clear sky
The coulds and suns that hung above you
When you kissed her for the first time, and promised she'd always be yours
Sitting side by side weaving cigarette smoke in circles around each others hearts
Hearing her sing, telling her things you would dream
It was just as it seemed...
I still miss you, do you miss me?
Can I see you one last time?
Before you run away from life again, can we pretend?
Share our last cigarette and kiss before you go away?
You know I'm dying for you to stay
But life has a funny way, she'll bring us together another day.
Please look me in the eye, and tell me you'll always remember a pirate and her lady friend
Tell me someday the world can bring us together again
We can laugh about the times we cried,
Finding what was lost, the secrets we'd hide
Sitting side by side, on a cold hallows night,
Just a pirate and her lady friend, my sweet friend
We're reaching the end.
Of our last pack of cigarettes and our final goodbye.
