The official ex-boyfriend of "Her" finds himself at the swing outside his bedroom window, where they used to spend time together talking the night away.
The brother of "Her" finds himself at the swing outside his bedroom window, where they used to spend time together talking the night away.
The ex and the brother walk away from their swings...
lyrics
featuring Jo Brown (Arms Length Away, Short Game, ex-Dying as GoodMen, ex-Beyond the Broken)
Do you remember how it used to be?
Everything was so perfect.
It was an endless bliss,
Peaceful as the night, but nothing lasts forever.
I knew that eventually that things would change.
Do you remember?
Things used to be so easy.
Nothing was stressful.
Just us, nothing more or less.
Down by the lake or nights at the park,
We spent our time together, never alone.
This all changed so suddenly.
Soon enough, I didn't know who you were.
The person I knew was gone.
Ever so rapidly,
The best thing was ripped away from me,
Never to be whole again.
Do you remember the swing outside my window,
Where we would spend our time talking the night away?
I guess you would never remember
The good times we used to have.
I guess that is just way too hard.
It was never about us.
We must whisper the truth of our lies,
For we will never see eye to eye.
We are no longer together.
This is fine by me.
