the view of you by the window and me

a couple of years back i spent a few months in the room of a guy who was away traveling. it was a bit scary to find that his cd collection looked just like mine, we seemed to have all the same albums even when they were strange things that are not so common. i immediately liked the few things i found there that i didn't know before. and i'm sure he'd like the ones i have that he doesn't. funnily enough the guy was from a northern european country but he had a black and white picture of my city on his work table. i remember finding this song there and it made me feel like home, where i had this album stored for a long time.



I had a plan
That was built on thinking too long
Canadian winters
At home with your sisters
the romance was hard to ignore
You were beautiful
I was happy to fall
So happy to fall

I remember you searching
I thought you were searching
that's how I picked up the phone
Happy to hear you remembered the view
So glad to assume it was fate
I thought at the time it was clear
I thought at the time it was clear

So I stood at the station
With a plan and a pocket of poems
Heroically tragic
Bearded and blind with obsession
I'm a car without hope
Too close to the ditch to go far
I showed you my field
I said this is my field
But you weren't impressed

You said why are we here
Your motives are clear
In this room with a view
and so much of you
is so far from here
it's so far from here
it's so far from here
it's so far from here

Oh my heart
It just fell apart
And i wished I could show you
The same view
of you by the window and me
feeling fine
And me just feeling fine
Yeah me just feeling fine
