lyrics

This girl I knew
Her voice was beautiful
We wrote a few songs
rShe lived on the other side of the pond
This girl I knew
Like me had an over active brain.
another victim of her own soot covered mind.

We had such a short time.
What ever happened to that girl I knew?

The people in your life will come and go Without recall.
There's something to learn from each one.
The lessons taught by this life don't come with second chances.
So believe me when I say take notes.

I met a dude
On a east bound city bus
A hour long ride I use to take each day.
This dude I knew
Young as he might be to me
was kind and wise and showed an erudite mind.

He sells cars in Ravandale Washington
that's what happen to this dude I knew.

The people in your life will come and go Without recall.
Some stay quite a while, some just a day.
You don't choose who comes and goes, just the quality of the stay.
So believe me when I say take notes.

I can’t believe I came so far, where I am today.
I can’t believe Who I am, and how I got this way.
There’s no turning back
there’s no fighting the clock
There’s no other way to go but forward to what lays ahead.
Know who you are
know what you love
Know how to make the best of the world that feeds your head.
Cuz it feeds your head.

Some day too We'll go our separate ways
be it death or just new country, city or state.
And when we do remember what you learned from me
and I'll remember what it was I learned from you.
I mean what I say when I sing this song I wrote.
And you can't see it but I will take notes
