Rue the Day

I know you won't be thinking of me now, it's been years

But I hope you change your mind when we were introduced

We both laughed 'cause we've been friends since long ago

And then today, but I never thought of you a single day



But yesterday I remembered driving with no headlights

We would tiptoe out in the evening

Never done such things before

But I have never frowned once

Thinking of you since



I'd be lying if I said your name never came up

As I'd be thinking of just how I'd like to cash my days in now

And all I ever do is think of yesterday

Man, it's hard to stand up straight all of the time



We'd tiptoe down

To my basement

Never done such things before

I'd drive you home for goodness sake

I could barely stand up straight



Oh there's a memory calling

Calling way too loud and way too strong

Twisting all the bad things into good

I'm a lucky guy now

But I'll never know until it's gone

Yeah, I'll never know it till its gone
