jared paul - red sweatshirt lyrics

Loading...

it’s strange how you could be so close

to someone for a time and then separate

it’s almost like a past life

i ain’t seen her in years she got a baby now

we almost had a baby once

but we lived too far apart and anyway

i wasn’t in love, though i wish that i was

i wonder who the kid woulda looked like

black hair and blue eyes, i bet

i bet, i bet they woulda been beautiful

and that works for what’s poetic n’ musical

but don’t justify creation of a human being

one hundred percent in love is the only reason

so we don’t share a life or a kid just a sweatshirt

hanging in my closet, crumpled on the floor

sometimes i forget that it’s even yours

hand written letters that went unanswered

read backwards in the mirror

how come i never answered?

i knew it wouldn’t work but there’s always time

to dream in your exlovers red sweatshirt

i don’t even know why i keep it

maybe ‘cause it’s comfortable

because it fits me right…

because it makes me think of special times in my life

reminds me of you and how you loved me right

how we went to jail together, made love

posted bail, and beat our case together

hand written letters you sent that went unanswered

read backwards in the mirror, how come i never answered?

i knew it wouldn’t work, but there’s always time

to dream in your ex lovers red sweatshirt

hanging in my closet or crumpled on the floor

sometimes i forget that it’s even yours

rips in the armpit, big hole in the sleeve

been washed so many times, that it don’t even bleed

hasn’t smelled like you for years

but if i close my eyes…

i see twin cities, riot police, austin

court rooms, providence, new orleans

we met at a poetry fest and made plans

i backed out because it felt too much like a date

made it clear i was not single; but you didn’t care

came knocking at my room just the same

i didn’t let you in but your boldness was impressive

the following spring my relationship had ended

came through minneapolis on tour

and you didn’t even blink when you saw

that it was slug who dropped me off at the door

you knew who he was, but weren’t starstruck

just said h-llo then looked at me until the door shut

dinner led to tea led to talking on the couch

electrifying words but i was focused on your mouth

d-mn, books led to poems, led to stories

hands led to arms, led to us making out

the next year was a blur of buses n’ planes

protests, politics, and long distance rain

laughing at the d.a., holding hands in the court

trying to make the best of time that was short

between the case, your tour schedule and mine

saw you more fam’ and friends here in rhode isle

romantically speaking, it was a respectable effort

but how time catches up

with tiny tea cups trembling in a tempest

the girl i got now the best i’ve ever had

i can’t believe i’m even writing this

i’m must be crazy

there’s just no way to explain

what reminiscing over music does

we may be through with past

but it ain’t through with us

chorus
