Trophy Eyes
Best Man
[Verse 1]
I can feel it getting colder again
The days start to shorten
And the leaves dance like thoughts in the wind
Think back to the same time last year
Not much has changed since 14 Herbert Street

[Verse 2]
My friends will all move away but I'll still call them when I can
Another day, another train, another night inside my head
And not a minute passes by that I don't think of what you said
Another friend, another dead

[Chorus]
I thought I'd already felt everything I'd ever get to feel
The memory numbs me still
And I can't go back there again, the tiny room upstairs
The year that time stood still

[Verse 3]
You weren't doing so well yourself back then
But you always had time for me
It rained nearly every day then
Desperate for a means to an end
Anything that we could manage to make it stop (make it stop)
[Chorus]
I thought I'd already felt everything I'd ever get to feel
The memory numbs me still
And I can't go back there again, the tiny room upstairs
The year that time stood still

[Verse 4]
Midday at Flirtation hill
Sitting in your car, you asked me what was wrong
I said I'm tired of waking up (of waking up)
You sped at the fence that bordered the edge
And when I begged you to stop you looked at me and said
“Don't say it if you don't mean it”

[Chorus]
I thought I'd already felt everything I'd ever get to feel
The memory numbs me still
And I can't go back there again, the tiny room upstairs
The year that time stood still

[Outro]
“Don't say it if you don't mean it”
