bryiarrose | "...memory is a terrible thing when you use it right..."

something about the way the world is tonight--the rain, the mist, the way the cars reflect in the glassy streets and the colors are so sharp and bright they almost hurt--something tonight just breaks my heart. or maybe it's all of that and this song that i had to go and buy after mark wheat played it on the radio. i don't even know. i do know that it's an uncomfortable feeling, and it makes me want to cry, and it feels like home all at the same time.

I remember the way
Driving home late
Speeding all the way
Alone in the rain
I was rehearsing a part
From down at the bar
My mouth smelled like a drink
We were laughing, I think
I've been away

Do you pick up your phone
Do you check your mail
Do you answer your door even if it's late?
I don't know who to call
I don't know who to write
And I think I forgot
What your face looks like
I've been away

Do you think that I've changed
I swear I never tried
Memory is a terrible thing
When you use it right
I was rehearsing a part
From down at the bar
My mouth smelled like a drink
We were laughing, I think
I've been away
