Accelerating on a Smoother Road

cozy with the thought
that no matter how hard i try
i can never recapture
what my heart remembers as pure--
just like the lot
that got turned into a bar;
and every time i go,
all i notice is how
the grass won't grow.

i saw you walk by a window;
i went out on the sidewalk and watched you go.

days are few when i don't wonder
what happened to you.
sometimes i see
a picture of you wondering about me;
on good days, this makes me think
that there's always a link.
and on bad days, i'm fooling myself.
and on bad days, i'm kicking myself.

i saw you walk by a window;
i went out on the sidewalk and watched you go.

freeze time, it takes me back
freeze time and i'm climbin' back
freeze time and take me back
freeze time and take me back
