Original You

ORIGINAL YOU

God where are the summers I once knew

all those magic dreams, allude

everyone knows the tragic, simple truth

time is a friction

between now and soon

Someone turn on the heat so cool

I was trying to fit in

original you

crying to give in 

original me 

wondering where I will be 

a maelstrom all around me

Well I’m not like you, know this is true

have my own river I’m going through

you say ‘showing feelings doesn’t make sense’!

so this is the way you treat a friend 

Don’t turn on the heat you fool

I was trying to fit in, original you

crying to give in, original me

wondering where I will be

a maelstrom all around me

turn on the heat, it’s cool

I was trying to fit in

original you

crying to give in

original me

wondering where I will be
