Never Here

I have proof that I was here
But a feeling like I wasn't
Just as soon as it appeared
It's gone all of a sudden
I don't own the memory
Though the quality is vivid

Though I was there in reality
I wasn't quite in spirit
I find I'm reminded of a time and place I've never been
Lord knows how I find it
A distant memory must've meant something to me
Or just a picture from my train

Pictures fail, technology breaks
Another moment don't exist
Where then it's color and shape
Are taken in just to throw it away
Throw it away, throw it away

I tampered with the memory
(Allows me to read alone, fella)
Moments are temporary
(Can't take no more from the summer)
But when the sky could be more blue
There's no reason why I wouldn't
No one getting farther from the truth
This badge all means better

Pictures fail, technology breaks
Another moment don't exist
Where then it's color and shape
Are taken in just to throw it away
Throw it away, throw it away

I was never really here
I was never really here
I was never real

I was never really here

I was never really here
(Really here)
