A Clear Mind, A Better Time

I was just thinking that while we’re still young

We should go and get married and live in the sun

And keep our parents waiting and waiting for us to come home

I’ll make us coffee to keep us awake

And play you old love songs lost in the hay

And you’ll never, never, never have to be alone

We could lie

And waste your time

I’d make you feel better

Remember the classrooms, the whitewash the slacks

The ceilings that crumbled from flawless to cracked

The children sat quietly learning just how to grow old

Our friends were all brutal, our teachers were brash

But the shit we had to deal with in high school is passed

And as long as you’ll feel it with me then I’ll feel it with you

And if you can’t heal, had the last one steal

Then I’ll show you love

How we used to feel

We felt so much better

You’ll get tattoos of my name on your chest

Cause the things we know now are the things we’ll forget

And some day you’ll wish that you never made commitments like that

And when I grow old and start losing my mind

And tears they fall heavy and hot from your eyes

Just remember the day that I let myself open to you

Just remember the day that I let myself open to you
