Past
I saw you on the street today
I could not catch your eye or you'd have heard me say
That you look just the same
But then I realized
We are not even friends and I was so surprised
When the teardrops came
I'm living in the past
Living in the past
Living in the past, I know
But the past is gone
I can't remember when
You didn't cross my mind and pull me back again
Into my reverie
And that's why I'm living in the past
And I gaze out the window as the world drifts by
And my eyes will glaze and I slip away
And my todays are gray, the seconds tick away
But if I close my eyes it's only yesterday
And I see rainbows surrounding you and me
But that was in the past
I know it was the past
I could not catch your eye or you'd have heard me say
That you look just the same
But then I realized
We are not even friends and I was so surprised
When the teardrops came
I'm living in the past
Living in the past
Living in the past, I know
But the past is gone
I can't remember when
You didn't cross my mind and pull me back again
Into my reverie
And that's why I'm living in the past
And I gaze out the window as the world drifts by
And my eyes will glaze and I slip away
And my todays are gray, the seconds tick away
But if I close my eyes it's only yesterday
And I see rainbows surrounding you and me
But that was in the past
I know it was the past
