You’ve been passing my mind

You’ve been passing my mind lately, I know it’s strange to say

You’re still with someone else, I’m back to single by the way

But if you find an interlude in your busy day

I’d like to see you, to talk about it all

I know that I am slow, for realizing that

I’ve wasted the good love, that we could’ve had

And I just wanted to acknowledge, that it all was my bad

I guess the pleasure, comes before the fall

You don’t need to say a word, but please pick up the phone

I’m not here to let you know that I feel terribly alone

And in your silence I can hear, how much you must have grown

I hope that I don’t seem too small

Still there is something in me, with each blackhaired girl I see

That hopes that its is you, and wishes that we could be

Back in the summer when our love bloomed so full

I’m such a fool

I’d like to make new promises, but I haven’t changed a bit

I’ve been restless for so long but I feel I’m over it

Still I haven’t found a place, where I think I really fit

I guess that place is still far

You might have guessed that my request, is something like ‘take me back’

But it’s more like an attempt to get some weight out of my bag

So if you are to shoot me down, please aim for my back

I know that that’s where I’ve made your scar

Still there’s something in me, with each blackhaired girl I see

That hopes that is is you, and wishes we could be

Back in the springtime when our love was so new

But anyway, I’ll find something else to do
