"Dreaming In Analogue" lyrics

Menifee, 2003
I keep these analogues close to me
I'm not the person that I used to be
Just want my parents to be proud of me, is all

The best of me had left me so long ago
You'll find it somewhere in the afterglow
Who I am now is someone I'll never know
Left in the past and I just can't let it go

I never got to say goodbye
To everything I left behind
You live and learn, the pages turn
Home is where there's no return

We never get to say goodbye
To memories we leave behind
Someday, somehow I'll find
It's better in the here and now

I always dream about the days we were young
Focused on all the hurt and things that were done
Lost in the noise, yet my song was unsung
I lost it somewhere on the tip of my tongue

So sick of seeing the past through a viewfinder
Wish I could leave it alone in this blue binder
Gone in the flash of the wind, a faint reminder
You'll never repeat the past

I never got to say goodbye
To everything I left behind
You live and learn, the pages turn
Home is where there's no return

We never get to say goodbye
To memories we leave behind
Someday, somehow I'll find
It's better in the here and now

(I know, I know, I know, I know)
If you could, would you wanna go back now?
(I know, I know, I know, I know)
'Cause I have lived, and I have lost
(I know, I know, I know, I know)
What a sight I used to be
(I know, I know, I know, I know)
I don't wanna know

I never got to say goodbye
To everything I left behind
You live and learn, the pages turn
Home is where there's no return

We never get to say goodbye
To memories we leave behind
Someday, somehow I'll find
It's better in the here and now

Menifee, 2003
I keep these analogues close to me
I'm not the person that I used to be
Just want my parents to be proud of me, is all
