Dreaming in Analogue

Menifee 2003
I keep these analogues close to me
I'm not the person that I used to be
Just want my parents to be proud of me is all

The best of me had left me so long ago
You'll find it somewhere in the afterglow
Who I am now is someone I'll never know
Left in the past and I just can't let it go

I never got to say goodbye
To everything I left behind
You live and learn the pages turn
Home is where there's no return
We never get to say goodbye
To memories we leave behind
Someday somehow
I'll find it's better in the here and now

I always dream about the days we were young
Focused on all the hurt and things that were done
Lost in the noise yet my song was unsung
I lost it somewhere on the tip of my tongue

So sick of seeing the past through a viewfinder
Wish I could leave it alone in this blue binder
Gone in the flash of the wind a faint reminder
You'll never repeat the past

I never got to say goodbye
To everything I left behind
(No return)
You live and learn the pages turn
Home is where there's no return
(No return)
We never get to say goodbye
To memories we leave behind
Someday somehow
I'll find it's better in the here and now

(I know I know I know I know)
If you could would you wanna go back now
(I know I know I know I know)
'Cause I have lived and I have lost
(I know I know I know I know)
What a sight I used to be
(I know I know I know I know)
I don't wanna know

Some people have the theory that the real world
Is material or physical
They say it's made of kind of a stuff
Other people have the theory that the real world is spiritual or mental
But I want you to point out
That both those theories of the world
Are concepts
They are constructions of words
And the real world is not an idea
It is not words
Reality is

I never got to say goodbye
To everything I left behind
You live and learn the pages turn
Home is where there's no return
We never get to say goodbye
To memories we leave behind
Someday somehow
I'll find it's better in the here and now

Menifee 2003
I keep these analogues close to me
I'm not the person that I used to be
Just want my parents to be proud of me is all
