Coming down this morning
Eyes are tired from warning shots
Fired through the night as thoughts
Rushing through my mind, as I fail to fall asleep

Maybe somewhere out there
You’re lying down to try and keep
From having the same thoughts as me
Slip into your mind so quick, and suddenly you’re back

To a story lost, but maybe not forgotten
The details blur and you wonder if you’ve truly lost them
Among a million other memories along the way

I couldn’t quite recall her name
But when the Sun would set just right, I could still recall the night, just not the same
As it was when we were young
Like a puzzle missing pieces, I can still make out the image, it just appears a bit unfinished

The seasons changed so quickly
Before I knew it, you were gone
On your own at twenty-one
Set to find a life all on your own away from here

You went to California
You said the Sun would never set
You’d eventually pay all your debts
But you took a loan from me I know you never could repay

But that’s okay
Our memories aren’t worth much anyway
And I can feel
Them depreciating with each passing day
Remembered as a love not lost but left behind

Along the way I couldn’t quite recall her name
But when the Sun would set just right, I could still recall the night, just not the same
As it was when we were young
Like a puzzle missing pieces, I can still make out the image, it just appears a bit unfinished

Along the way, I lost track of yesterdays
Was the Sun just a bit brighter, did I fight a little harder
Or is that the game
We all play inside our minds
Just a hope to find another, future to discover, instead of the one we left
