Happy happened while we were doing other things
I still feel your hand sliding up my knee
Softly, softly
Makes me look at dead flowers and wanna cry
Because I didn't look hard enough
While they were still alive
You watered my heart like summer fruit
Nurtured me till I grew
Until I was too ripe for you
And fell into the arms of someone new
Rhythmically I erase your name
From the places that I see every day
The memories start to fade
The way you look at me changes
You were a big city trapped in a small town
With sacred places I learned and I loved well
He was a small town trapped in a big city
Couldn't cut himself to fit so he tried to cut me
He tried to cut me
He tried to cut me
Maybe when you're not a thousand miles away
We can make out in your car on some music-less day
Maybe by then we’ll be ready
We can pretend it's the first time
The day you knew you were synthetic
Sensed the way I tugged on his jacket
I loved you more than that even then
I always loved you more than him
You were a big city trapped in a small town
With sacred places I learned and I loved well
He was a small town trapped in a big city
Couldn't cut himself to fit so he tried to cut me
He tried to cut me
He tried to cut me
You were a big city trapped in a small town
With sacred places I learned and I loved well
He was a small town trapped in a big city
Couldn't cut himself to fit so he tried to cut me
He tried to cut me
He tried to cut me
