lyrics

--------------------------------------------------

once seen through a window
now only looking into
where I once belonged
thirty years and change
they press against the dream though
they don’t really matter at all

and still in years to come
in marks we made and photos taken

THAT’S ME IN THE GARDEN
OF THE HOUSE I GREW UP IN
THOUGH I’D HAVE TO WAIT
YEAH IT WAS ONLY ’98
THERE’S YOU
AND ALL THE THINGS WE’D GO ON
TO DO
I’D HAVE IT ALL WRIT BY FATE
AND IT WAS ONLY ’98

it wasn’t carved in stone
never even promised
but I still assumed it all
it would still be mine
but it never really had been
at all

sometimes near dawn I wonder
where we might have wandered
on a foreign shore
but every stone unturned
those roads we left untaken
they don’t really matter at all

THAT’S US IN THE GARDEN
OF THE HOUSE I GREW UP IN
