about

I've not really loved anyone in the last however many years, whatever that means. I suppose I've had too much going on in my own head to be able to offer enough of myself to anyone else, enough to allow something like love to grow. In any case, this year was the first year that I felt something close to that again. Over the summer I fell in love with a lot of different people for different amounts of time, people I will most likely never see again. This song is for them, call it a thank you.

lyrics

darling, I'm coming home
but I still don't know where I'm going
stuck my finger on the map
went there and now I'm coming back
but I'm sad to say that I'm coming back alone

you see I had an interview with God
and drinks with Mary Magdalene
I signed my name in blood
and for two months I was in love
but now our time's barely an echo on the wind

and I wonder if you'll forget
and I wonder if you'll call
and I wonder if you'll regret
saying anything at all

I'm a narcissistic man
you can see it in the pride I feel
but even I have to accept
another lover will come next
and that reality for me is far too real

so I'll dream another life
in which I'm 33; you're 29
we run into each other
and by chance we both discover
that we should've been together all the time

but I wonder if I'll forget
and I wonder if I'll call
and I wonder if I'll regret
saying anything at all

we sat and watched the stars
under the Portuguese sky
you didn't say a word
it was the only sound I heard
it was the perfect way for us to say goodbye

but I wonder if we'll forget
and I wonder if we'll call
and I wonder if we'll regret
saying anything at all
