Rue the Day

I know you won't be thinking of me now

It's been years, but I hope you change your mind

When we were introduced, we both laughed

'Cause we'd been friends since long before we met today

But I never thought of you a single day

But yesterday

I remembered driving with no headlights

We would tip-toe out in the evening

Never done such things before

But I have never frowned once

Thinking of you since

I'd be lying if I

Said your name never

Came up, as

I've been thinking of just how I'd like

To cash my days in now

And all I ever do is think of yesterday

Man, it's hard to stand up straight all of the time

We'd tip-toe down

To my basement

Never done such things before

I'd drive you home, for goodness sake

I could barely stand up straight

Oh, there's a memory calling

Calling way too loud

And way too strong

Twisting all the bad things into good

I'm a lucky guy now

But I never know until it's gone

Yeah, I never know it 'til its gone
