All Past Lovers

My chat room suitor she lit me with a frame of a red font
Back then I never slept
Was King Kong logged on til the dawn
She said 'no you hang up first' - too late
I already miss you
Real sadness was brand new
I played her 'Comfortably Numb'
Now when I think how I'm an open book
I've got a bookmark in her pages too
Cuz all past lovers live inside of you

Then my Athenian heat wave arose
And froze me up like a statue
And if it was not for her gall
Wouldn't have moved to the city at all
She said 'the size of this world's more room
Than any just I'll kiss you'
The city hovered her head
She was never alone in her walls
So if you see with me that others can write your book
I have to thank that gall for helping me too
Cuz all past lovers live inside of you

And to that southern belle - I held her
With the grip of a metal yellow arm on a tractor
But when I fled too fast its cuz my constructed site
Had too many questions to answer
I said the top of the south is a mouth
Not a house that
I must break through to continue
I heard she got through there too and
Started new when she moved
It's always timing now that's really the issue
So if you're reaching out and you want to hold my hand
Then soon yr probably holding onto hers too
Cuz all past lovers live inside of you

And to my true best friend I pushed red
Imprinted in my head blue
At end I never really said goodbye or spoke truly at all
Still we always used to talk in our verse
That's how I still say 'I miss you'
Put my yearn for you in our tunes
You played comfortable drums
So when I'm reaching out and praising the new
I guess I'm praising what's best in her ex too
Cuz all past lovers live inside of you
All past lovers live inside of you
Cuz all past lovers live inside of you
