lyrics

I wish that I could take you back to where the world kept spinning,
to where I watched you catch that ring.
Because I'm lonely and I miss you.
But don't tell anybody anything.

And I want you know.
I want you to know.
I need you to know.

I tried to let go.
I don't want to let go.
I don't want to let go.

And you'd watch me, and I'd watch you watch me.
You're hair was kinda hard to miss.
And I feel you when I'm angry and I try to make a fist.
I wish that I could tell you all of this.

But the pain that day kept me away.
I didn't get to say, "Goodbye."
So goodbye.

I get nervous, and then anxious, and then scared I'll disappear.
But then your laughter fills my ears.
And I know it's just a memory, but it helps me kill my fears.
They say I'm phony but I'm so sincere.

"I felt so damn happy, if you want to know the truth. I don't know why. It was just that she looked so damn nice, the way she kept going around and around, in her blue coat and all. God, I wish you could've been there."

I wish that I could take you back to where the world kept spinning,
but don't tell anybody anything.

"I didn't know what the hell to say. If you want to know the truth, I don't know what to think about it. I'm sorry I told so many people about it. About all I know is, I sort of miss everybody I told about. Even old Stradlater and Ackley, for instance. I think I even miss that goddam Maurice. It's funny. Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody."
