The opening/closing lines here were cribbed from the drunken ramblings of Jesse Blaine.
lyrics
I remember it was you.
Couldn’t shake it, couldn’t break it – it was you.
You probably just forgot.
We were astronauts,
With our guts hanging out and ballooning up.
You were burning up.
His cold hands made you hot.
You were dying, so he turned his head and you were gone.
We’re the undereducated backwater novelist,
The unfertilized stump mighty oak shoot.
A lot of anger is bearing down on you.
We’ve got your kids.
Short stretches of long roads
Walk harder for what’s known
Of how much up ahead there is to come.
You were coming down
From heights we’d never seen
When we met, we were singing life, but you were gone.
I remember it was you.
Couldn’t shake it, couldn’t break it – it was you.
