do it one more time to amaze me
write a song all about him
and the fleeting time we had together
before being young tore us apart

we appear as strangers to you
but you've written our bittersweet passions
we dance through your power chords
and our words are a mix of your melody and rhyme

an upbeat guitar riff brings us together
the verses describe our jejune love
a melancholy bridge puts our broken hearts on display
and he fades away as your voice begins the next verse

even now as you release a new song
the music spans across miles
my car to his cd player
replaying happy memories and an aching separation

your voice on repeat in the background of our lives
as the songs progress you softly narrate our tale
one of happiness and melancholy, triumph and tragedy
a story that still has years before the curtain falls
