You Look Like Me

Somewhere on the inside
She could never get lost because she's blinding
A thousand years went behind me
That's how it feels anyway from the back seat
No path to get back to the day
And to say either way wouldn't do her justice
I admit that
I just wish I had a simple way
To say I'm sorry

But I don't
Though I can make it better
If I just get the chance to say
Nothing
Let you speak
Nice to meet you
Nice to be near you
Let's drive through all of the things
That you should have had back then
Like me

Don't cause a rift in her life
Yeah
That's what I've said every night
Convinced you were better
Without all the demons
That crept up inside of my mind

You look like me
I hope you're not like me
You look like me
You look like me

I felt like sinking to the bottom
Drowning in the senselessness of time
I couldn't feel I wouldn't bother
Fall asleep
Fall asleep
Yeah right

Could you take me back to the times of then?

The apple is plucked from the tree
What I've seen in my years
When I should have been
Preening and trimming and watering leaves
And instead I just drowned in my grief
But it's simple to speak in some metaphors
I don't want to convolute anymore
The message is simple and honest
When it reaches your heart
I hope you accept it
You've been in mine every day
You've been singing and happy
And maybe someday
I'll greet you and finally say
That I feel the same
I wait for the day to look at your face

Play along
Sing along
