I told myself not to fall in love and I haven't yet
I'm still so young there are so many people that I haven't met
So when I saw you and you saw through to the heart of me
I turned around, walked downtown, tried to see you with objectivity
I didn't want to look too hard
I didn't want to see too far
I didn't want to know who you are
I didn't want to like it
I didn't want to say your name
Standing on your fire escape
Watching all the good stars fade
Like the ghosts behind me
I told myself shes nothing new, just a pretty girl
A radiant light who always finds time to watch life unfurl
So when you kissed me and I had to leave I wasn't lying
I've been thinking maybe I'm just good at searching and not finding
I didn't want to look too hard
I didn't want to see too far
I didn't want to know who you are
I didn't want to like it
I didn't want to say your name
Standing on your fire escape
Watching all the good stars fade
Like the ghosts behind me
You don't remind of back home
You don't remind me of my old needs
You don't remind me of what I know of love
You remind me about what it means
You don't remind me of my mother
You don't remind me of my last girl
You just remind me that it's a big wide open world
I didn't want to say your name standing on your fire escape
Watching all the good stars fade like the ghosts behind me
You Don't Remind Me
