"School Notes" Lyrics

School notes soaked in memories
They dry out while the feelings left me
In the hall losing ground that year
Photographs, they seem so silly
And fake laughs and all so pretty
The only thing that made me feel alright

Is the one time we got in trouble
For sneaking out, we were so subtle
We climbed the fence into the pool that night
Oh my, morning came early
As we woke up at 6:30
And the schoolyard would fill up once again

I want to, I want to see you
I need you, I need to feel you
I love you, you know I do, I do
I want to, I want to see you
I need you, I need to feel you
I love you, you know I do, I do

We grew up in a hurry
Through summer's nights and winter's flurries
All the days began to blend as one
Now the cell phone ring, I can't escape it
The sound it brings, oh boy, I hate it
These are the things we have to deal with now

These vacant things and all the takers
They run away and try to fake us
To think that they know what's best for us
We get away for just a minute
To see the stars and watch the infinite
Oh God, awake these feelings inside of me

I want to, I want to see you
I need you, I need to feel you
I love you, you know I do, I do
I want to, I want to see you
I need you, I need to feel you
I love you, you know I do, I do

Now your smile falls and drips in spaces
Under the walls and lonely places
By the floorboards where we both slept
Our time bent and faded with the
Sky when the clouds erased it
And your name was left on my lips

The sun crept on Sunday morning
The scent of the coffee roasting
Down south just east of town
Wake up, I hear the trains go by you
I wonder if they hear you
Calling out your name

I want to, I want to see you
I need you, I need to feel you
I love you, you know I do, I do
I want to, I want to see you
I need you, I need to feel you
I love you, you know I do, I do
