Gareth Inkster - Last Year Lyrics

'Round this time last year you and I
Were staying up too late at night
Under the glow of your porch light
And we were so happy

But as the trees got prettier
Your heart got working in reverse
And things began to feel rehearsed
And we started lapsing

Back into how it was before
And that wasn't good.
And when you finally left to look for more
I agreed that you should

Depending on the time of year
I'd say, "I'm done. My mind is clear"
Or, "I was wrong. I need you here"
Maybe both at the same time

So maybe I should listen to
My head when it says "run from you"
Or does my heart know what to do?
Oh man, it's a lose-lose

So maybe I'm naive to try to perceive
The world with one mind
I should accept instead that inside my head
The voices, they're all mine

When all is done and said and I've made my bed
I'll have to sleep in it too
And depending on the way I feel that day
It will or won't be with you

So when I think about last year
It's with a smile, and a tear
Confusion helps to make it clear
That there's more than just one of me in here
