EXILE ON HUTCHISON AND HULL

from BRIGHTON by Joe Sorensen

/

lyrics

I used to send you songs
Now I listen on my own
This one says, "There was a sign"
But you gave me none

In the morning we were strong
But by nightfall you were gone
The exile came in a call
There was nothing I could do

I change the record
And this one talks of shit and trousers
We only live life forwards
We only learn it backwards

I know that's not what he means
But it's worth remembering
I wanna walk in reverse
Before I flew to Denver

Holding on while letting go
You're in my mind though I'm alone
Going back while moving on
A broken heart for someone's song

I change the tape, the final verse
Says, "All are sorry for our hurt"
And I want to feel sad for you
But you left me with no reason to

This seems so easy for you
A word and goodbye
Do you feel anything?
Am I alone in that, too?
