lyrics

When I think of all
the people I cross
I’m too shy to say
I don’t remember how we met
And I don’t have the faintest
memory of our acquaintance
But that don’t mean
you don’t mean nothin’ to me yet

It’s hard to remember places
and in those places there were faces
and odds are I was wasted
but that is no excuse
I am just no good
No matter how good I think I should be
and If it were a game
I’d always lose

It’s a great big country
of missed opportunities
I’m falling like autumn leaves
Please take me in
Press me in a book
to remember how I look
I’d die happy knowing
I would always be
Your cherished memory

It was not a good break up
But bad break ups come from good love
when that good love ends
it’s hard to stay good friends
When I opened the door
the smile that she wore
Was the smile she always wore when she was sad

I never thought a smile
Could make me feel so terrible
It all felt so disjointed and surreal
I always think I hide well
The way I feel inside
she had a nose for sniffing out just what I feel

It’s a great big country
of missed opportunities
Like a broken butterfly wing
Please take me in
Put me under glass
To commenorate the past
I’d die happy knowing
I would always be
Your cherished memory

the day I die
I hope I goes peacefully
I hope I go with dignity
surrounded by my friends
having no regrets
and owing many debts
to those I hope to someday repay

I hope my songs
will continue to live on
That there are children who are born
long after I am gone
Who will sit up on the rooftops
Drinking beer and singing sad songs
like Rock Bottom Has Never Felt So Good

It’s a great big country
of missed opportunities
Once my life becomes a legacy
Please take me in
Keep me in your thoughts
Without you I am lost
It’s all we should ever wish to be
Is your cherished memory
