Recognize You

You told me everything you had to say
Then you said goodbye and you went out walking
Didn’t want for it ever to end
Woulda been so pleased if you just kept talking
And I’m never ever gonna recognize you
When we meet again after 35 years
And I’m never ever gonna recognize you
And I shake all over and I shed some tears
And I wonder was it you and was it me
On the bus in the seat right next to mine
And I wonder was it you and was it me
Who stood behind me when I was in line
And I’m never ever gonna recognize you
If I keep your face in perfect aim
And I’m never ever gonna recognize you
If you’re in the papers cause of all your fame
And you die with me and we lie together
And we’re torn apart and we’re gone forever
And I keep your ring and I keep your hair
Keep your mind right over there
Right over there
Got a picture of you up on the swing set
Wild dogs lying at your feet
I wonder how you could live forever
Wonder how you could stand the heat
But I’m never ever gonna recognize you
If time stands still and I never die
No, I’m never ever gonna recognize you
You don’t care or wonder why
The sun’s going down over the hill
Where we used to walk or was I alone?
You humbled me into a secret garden
Where everything was weird like The Twilight Zone
Just like The Twilight Zone
Morning’s been here a couple hours
Pretty soon the sun’s gonna rise
I’m wondering why I even bother
Might as well gouge out my eyes
Cause I’m never ever gonna recognize you
Cause I don’t even know if you are real
And I’m never ever gonna recognize you
I broke in half when you broke the seal
