I missed the turn on the street Where you lived and now I’m crying here in the car I know these houses and yards like the back of my hand so Why do I feel so lost?
You’re slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it, slipping through my fingers all the time
I wanna scream but I don’t I just sit here watching school busses stop at the light I wish I left this city in my memory Why did I come back, what did I think I’d see? Trapped inside a picture I don’t wanna be Was this ever mine?
You’re slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it, slipping through my fingers all the time
Flowers in the cracks in the sidewalk Leading to a rock in the ground with your name Say a couple words but I can’t hear myself talk Someone small in the grave Yeah, I think this is a mistake I don’t wanna think of you this way I can feel my memories melting Like someone’s pouring gasoline on a birthday cake Who’s living in my old bedroom? Who’s got locker number 142? Why does it feel like I’m getting run through? Every time I come through, everything we did Does it even matter, was it even real? Did it even happen? Tell me why it feels like I’m stuck in a bad dream Tell me it’s a bad dream
You’re slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it, slipping through my fingers all the time
