How I've missed you, I've been a bad boy

But seventeen, it takes forever, and me



I was already on fire, dreaming with angels



Remember every little thing

You've got to remember every little thing...

My child, there, I know, I'm coming to get you, but oh



I'm running so slow, like a dream, and the dawn it is quickening

My friends they all thought I was the one who was lost



I learned that irony from the start of my life

Remember every little thing

You've got to remember every little thing...

Trumpets peal, I've realized all that's real

And love is a white-golden road I pave with my blood now



I was a fraction at best, a sad king's court jester, or less

I was a two-part invention, she was my melody

God, she was my melody...
