Lyrics

Never Here

I have proof that I was here
But a feeling like I wasn't
Just as soon as it appeared
It's gone all of a sudden

I don't own the memory
Though the quality is vivid
Though I was there in reality
I wasn't quite in spirit

I find I'm reminded
Of a time and place I've never been
Lord knows how I find it
I guess the memory must've meant something to me
I just didn't picture from my train

Pictures fail, technology breaks
Another moment done exist
Where then it's color and shape are taken in
Just to throw it away
Throw it away, throw it away

Tampered with their memory
Allows me to read alone, fella
Moments are temporary
Can't take no more from the summer
When the sky could be more blue
There's no reason why I wouldn't
No one getting farther from the truth
This badge all means better

Pictures fail, technology breaks
Another moment done exist
Where then it's color and shape are taken in
Just to throw it away
Flow it away, flow it away

I was never really needed

I was never really needed
I was never real

I was never really needed

I was never really needed
I don't care
