Cousin - Lyrics by Continental Drifters


Lyrics

Yours were the first eyes
I ever looked into
I can still see you standing
panicked in the driveway
It was one of those moments
You save somebody drowning in

Deep in the summer
Whiter in the winter
and we had hearts made of plate glass
maybe even thinner
and I can still see your taillights
fading down the alley
the day you went away
the day I went away

Hey, Ii’ve been looking for you all this time
anything Ii can find of you
to remind me of
how it used to be
when the world was so young

Worlds are colliding
Little souls dividing
and we had so little time left
the Wicked Witch reminded
And it was one of those moments
When goodbye is forever
And I made you go away
i wanted you to stay

Hey, I’ve been looking for you all this time
Anything I can find of you to remind me of
How it used to be
When the world was so young...

Well... I’ve been waiting for you to find me
Just one last look
I’ll put it all behind me
And I don’t care you don’t have to stay
i just want one more chance to feel that way
(that way)

Years come and go now
But hearts always remember
and I still carry you with me
December through December
And it is one of those memories
You hold onto forever
And it never goes away
It never goes away

Hey, and I’m still looking for you all this time
anything I can find of you to remind me of
how it used to be when the world was so young
so young
and I’ve been looking for you all this time
anything I can find of you to remind me of
how it used to be when the world was so young
so young

ahhhhh...
