Same Time, Next Year
Verse 1
Couldn't believe the news
When I heard it at first
You left me, you're dating a new friend of mine
What's worst?
I tried to convince myself that it wasn't true
You and I were in the early stages of something new
Hanging out, eating and sleeping at your place
Loved it when I would just stare at your face
Your arms around me at different times of the day
How I miss that, you'll never know
Because I won't say
Verse 2
More soft spoken is what I am
Holding my head lower is what I do
Signs which indicate your love for me
Are what I search for, are what I think of
More cautious of who I speak to
Acting mute when it's necessary
Solutions that solve some of my dilemmas
Are what I search for, are what I think of
I feel insecure and inadequate in many ways
Verse 3
The downtown core of the city
Reminds me so much of you
Shorts, bicycles, cell phones and Cadillacs
Now and again, I walk by your apartment building
I look at floor six, wondering what you're up to
How I miss the moments which quickly passed us by
Reminiscing about them will lead me to cry
Chorus 1
By this time next year
I will be alone
Whenever I was with you
I felt at home
Now I'm riding high on a tidal wave of emotions
Same time, next year
I'll be drowning in the memory of us
Chorus 2
By this time next year
I will be alone
Whenever I was with you
I felt at home
Now I'm riding high on a tidal wave of emotions
Same time, next year
I'll be drowning in the memory of us
Desperately wanting a sense of clarity
Is what I'll be doing same time, next year
