lyrics

The old, the new
don't get confused.
A story told in interludes.
Oh, who could know
to throw the book was fun?

I called you late
up on the phone.
It rang all night, no one's home.
Oh, please pick up
I can't stay all alone.

Because all I sing
are memories
of lives that never came to be.

I could've stayed.
I could've died.
I live in coulds,
don't live in tries.

I see the way, but I never get that far.

You and me
the dog makes three
a trifecta of lonely.
Oh, who could know
together could feel like one?

Because all I sing
are memories
of lives that never came to be.

I could've stayed.
I could've died.
I live in coulds,
don't live in tries.

I see the way, but I never get that far.

And in the end,
I know we'll die.
and get taken
up past the sky.
and if there's nothing
past the sky,
it'll be okay,
at least we tried.

We see the way, but we never get that far.
