I remember lightning
And rain so hard
We had to stop the car
I remember bee stings
And the pain made me see stars
I remember cigarettes
And a sudden ashtray kiss
Johnny Walker sunsets
And a thread round your wrist
But I could have done without it all
I could have done without it all
I remember summers
Your chlorine hair
And headache glares
Bleeding on the runners
Pretending not to care
But I could have done without it all
I could have done without it all
If you wanna
Know the answer
Then you better know
Just what to ask
I don’t wanna
Talk about it
I just want someone to kno-ho-how
I don’t want to
Seem ungrateful
But you know how it can
Suddenly turn hateful
Thank you for the Novocaine
And city lights from airplanes
Thank you for the gifts that I’ve received
Thank you for the lies that I believed
But I could have done without it all
I could have done without it all
There’s an hour
of sunlight
There’s a raincoat full of
Ra-ha-ha-in
There’s a window
in the summer
There’s a way to make the
Morning last
If you’d asked me
Do I want it
How could I have made the choice
