Lazerbeams

You saw a photo of your younger self
Looking better than the feeling you recall
In your old paint scrubs in the doorway
Of the bedroom at the end of the hall

I helped you find the perfect color
And we painted over all the writing on the walls

And we were lazerbeams
When we were lazerbeams
When we were lazerbeams

I woke up thinking I should stay
Awake whatever's comin' next
Tears in someone's office
Unpacking our regrets

Now it's time to repaint
But it could be time to sell
All the plans we made together
And all there is, mis-remembered wealth
And though we couldn't see the future
Or comprehend the past
We knew that it would last

And we were lazerbeams
When we were lazerbeams
When we were lazerbeams

I woke up faced the other way
And knew for everything you lacked
No matter what might happen
I'd never take it back
