In the black and white photo
From not that long ago
Your eyes looking out to
Somewhere that I don’t know
Youth and ideas
Your mischievous mind
A look that says
You’re never gonna die
Oh, you’re what I wanna know
I stare at the photo
And pretend that I am there
I wonder what it would have
Been like to breathe that air
I have a thing
For an era I’ll never know
But one thing I understand
Your words will never die
Oh, you’re what I wanna know
It was 1965
I wasn’t even yet alive
But I heard you on the radio
And on my Daddy’s stereo
Oh, you’re what I wanna know
It was 1965
I wasn’t even yet alive
But I heard you on the radio
And on my Daddy’s stereo
Oh, you’re what I wanna know

You said you were looking for me
But you were so that you couldn’t see
I tried but did not know what to say
To bring you back to me and make it go away
Oh what do you see?
Three killers of me?
Don’t tell me of your dreams
Just wait until morning
I was stuck there I could not leave
Your sheer presence just paralyzed me
But was it fear or fascination
That led me into your mind’s creation?
Oh what do you see?
Three killers of me?
Don’t tell me of your dreams
Just wait until morning
I think I love you
I think you scare me
Deep into the night
Waiting just for me

Well I crave a gray day
With clouds low and white
Old buildings with stories
And iron streetlights
And I’d find a bench
With street-corner charm
Somewhere by the river
And let my thoughts drown
And I’ll remember
Why I loved you
And I’ll remember
Why I left you
La, la, la, la-la, la-la
Well I crave the moon
And a heavy, black night
Streetlights are my candles
The roads are my path
But I don’t know where I’m goin’
So all I can do
Is try to remember
All the scenes of my past
And I’ll remember
Why I loved you
And I’ll remember
Why I left you
La, la, la, la-la, la-la

How many times have I driven past these hills?
How many times have I given up my will?
Well, I don’t want to go back to those times
But I’m so tired and I can’t help but give in
Oh your voice, your sense is here again
Countless crosses hover in the sky
On empty buildings with each mile I drive by
They remind me of your forlorn point of view
Well, I thought that this time would be the end
Oh your voice, your sense is here again
I can’t see you but I feel you in my mind
But I’m lost in Pennsylvania looking for a sign
Caffeine and music keep me in line
But all these miles lead to the back roads of my mind
Well, I don’t know what I want anymore
But I’m so tired of trying to pretend
Oh your voice, your sense is here again
I can’t see you but I feel you in my mind
But I’m lost in Pennsylvania looking for a sign
Yeah, I left you but at what cost?
Yeah, well it’s beautiful out here but I’m lost

I’m gonna ride back down Heather Lane
Gonna be there, honey, there’ll be no more pain
And I’ll see you when the sun goes down
In my hazy dreams
Though I can’t remember why
Sunlight’s streamin’ in
And I remember when we said good-bye
I’m gonna ride back down Heather Lane
Gonna be there, honey, there’ll be no more pain
And I’ll see you when the sun goes down
And I’ll see you when the sun goes down
Through the distant leaves
And the people we would spy
In the firelight
You know I didn’t wanna say good-bye
I’m gonna ride back down Heather Lane
Gonna be there, honey, there’ll be no more pain
I’ll see you when the sun goes down
I’ll see you when the sun goes down
Someday I’ll go back home
Someday I’ll go back home
I’m gonna ride back down Heather Lane
Gonna be there, honey, there’ll be no more pain
And I’ll see you when the sun goes down

You’re right
I’ve been cold and
Distant for a while now
Sometimes I get scared of
My desires and where they’ve led me
And I’m sorry
I’ve been stuck in the world of
My subconscious mind
I’m not sure what I expect sometimes now
And I know
That it’s a sweet time after all
I was runnin’ away
But I’m gonna stay
Right here
I thought for a moment
That this is all that life would be
But I need you
To put in perspective
All these downtrodden days
I’m not sure what I expect sometimes now
And I know
That it’s a sweet time after all
I was runnin’ away
But I’m gonna stay
Right here
