Christmas, Twin Falls, Idaho is her oldest memory
She was only two
It's the first time she felt blue
Cafeteria, Harrison Elementary
Beneath a parachute
I saw her without shoes
7 up, I touched her thumb, and she knew it was me
Although she couldn't see
Unless, of course, she peeked
My mom's good, she got me out of Twin Falls, Idaho
Before I got too old
You know how that goes
That's where she still was the summer she turned 17
In 1983
Three weeks after me
Last I heard was she had twins or maybe it was three
Though I've never seen
But that don't bother me

Since my fling with you, time went from
Popping off three times a day to popping off three times a week
And it takes me a long time
To come to the memory of us
One week later, there's melody
Doing what I always waited for
And I didn't stop her
But I didn't lead her on

Three Years Ago Today

The other night I dreamed about a sudden realization
That everything bad that can happen to me would
Woke up screaming "God, I hope I'm not bleeding
Out my eyes or mouth when I die"
I have seen a sheepish wonder
I see me three years ago today
No one's gonna push my buttons
No one's gonna have their say
A little while later I was trying to remember
But then it didn't seem quite as awful as it seemed
Can't believe I won't admit that
I have seen a sheepish wonder
I see me three years ago today
No one's gonna push my buttons
No one's gonna have their way
Feel about the same but I'm 10 years older
Watched my cat die for a month now
I have seen a sheepish wonder
I saw you earlier today
No one's gonna push my buttons
No one's gonna have their say
