Music & Lyrics by Drew Brody
you passed me on the street last night
you were looking down
your eyes on the ground
and you didn’t notice me
i followed you for blocks in the cold
without the strength
to call your name
or the strength to turn away
and all the words and the thoughts and the feel of your body in my arms
came back to me
like it used to be
not a year ago
and i don’t know what’s wrong with me
that i’m holding on to last year’s dream
in spite of everything i know
i can’t let go, i can’t let go
like a fool i thought “life goes on”
and i’d never have to see your face
but there is no safe place
this city’s dangerous
cause even on the days when it seems ok all of a sudden things change
and your voice takes hold of me
all of a sudden memories
from these sidewalks burn
and i don’t know what’s wrong with me
that i’m holding on to last year’s dream
in spite of everything i know
i can’t let go, i can’t let go
i don’t even recognize myself
i followed you
till i felt so ashamed
i’m acting so strange
and it’s got to change
cause i don’t know what’s wrong with me
that i’m holding on to last year’s dream
and everybody says i’m wrong
and i’ve been holding on too long
and i don’t know what’s wrong with you
remember this was your dream too?
in spite of everything i know
i can’t let go, i can’t let go
