I know you won't be thinking of me now, its been years.
But I hope you change your mind when we were introduced
We both laughed cause we've been friends since long ago.
And then today, but I never thought of you a single day.
But yesterday I remembered driving with no headlights
We would tip toe out in the evening.
Never done such things before, and I have never found once thinking of you since.
I'd be lying if I said you'd make never.
Came up and I'd be thinking of just how I'd like to cash my days in now.
And all I ever do is think of yesterday.
Man its hard to stand up straight all of the time.
We tip toe down to my basement.
Every time succeeds before.
I'd drive you home for goodness sake.
I could barely stand up straight.
Oh there's a memory calling, calling way too loud and way to strong.
Twisting all the bad things into good.
I'm a lucky guy now, but I'll never know until its gone.
Yeah I'll never know it till its gone.

"I'm a lucky guy now,
But I'll never know until it's gone.
Yeah, I never know until it's gone."
ahah, sorry i hate when people put their stupid song related stories. but god, this songs works so well and i'd never know it if not for him.
Yes, Walkmen, I miss her very much. Thank you for evoking her memory so strong, with such lyrics as: "you wont be thinking of me now"; "never frowned once thinking of you since"; "I'd be lying if I said your name never came up"; memories that twist "everything bad things into good"; "till its gone - Wow. I miss her very much.
Anyway, to me, this song is about reminiscing about a past affair with a girl. I think this is kinda obvious so maybe thats why nobody had listed that yet? Anyway, like "opifex" stated, that last line hits you so f#cking hard! The Walkmen have a way of giving even the most universal of feelings and moments the time they deserve. Everyone has had this happen to them at one point in time and The Walkmen captured that feeling in a song better than anyone else could have, IMO. I love this band.
the line is 'and i have never FROWNED once thinking of you since
isn't it "I'd be lying if I said your name never came up..."?
Anyway, a great song. Nice of you to post all of these.
