A demonstration of how my imagination thought it ought to be
I ran across this old CD that I had owned from when I was 12. One of the first CDs I ever bought. It's country of course but it brings me back to my time when things were much simpler. Singing my made up songs on my cassette player, building forts out of blankets and sheets over my bunk beds. Walking down to the lake with Junior and playing fetch with him until I got tired (because he never got tired of that, ever).
It's interesting that I found this CD today. Last night I just got the feeling to drive to Sparta by myself after work last night. I sat in front of that place in the lake and stared for almost an hour. It just seemed like something was gone. Missing. Those days of Sparta when I lived there, the days of visiting there a few years ago. I don't know but it was a little depressing.
I know I shouldn't get like that and always live in the past. But it just feels like I wish I could go back into the past knowing what I know. Maybe I could change a lot of things that just never seem to go the right way for me. And maybe I wouldn't take the good things I once had for granted. I know, I know, live and learn blah blahhh.
We're all allowed a day of nostolgic mopery every once in a while. Today is mine.
Straight out of some story
You walked in, in all your glory
I thought you were perfect for me
I was out of my mind
Looked like I was winning
It was the best love Id ever been in
Just when we were beginning
The end-you left me behind
And I was looking forward to a happy ending
So much for pretending
I should have known better
Than to think of happy ever
After-you and me together
I was out of my league
I kept my heart hidden
And now Im wishing that I didnt
Oh who am I kidding
You werent even intrigued
And I was looking forward to a happy ending
So much for pretending
It could have been beautiful
If Id only met you
If Id only let you know
What you meant to me
And if I could I would
Give you a demonstration
Of how my imagination
Thought it ought to be
So much for pretending
Ooh yeah, pretending...pretending
So much for pretending
