lyrics

I've got this old memory, we were cooped up indoors
Rain on the tin roof like a Beethoven score
Kept staring at chipped paint on the green windowsill
Wondering what else could lie just over that hill

Ten long years of searching, that question still stands
And the farther I reach the more slips out of my hands
Now there's a new lover in that old weathered window
And I stand outside and wonder why I ever let go

Oh, I never really thought about what windows are for
'Cause I keep on trying to use my windows as doors
I'll see it in time
How life keeps rolling on
And how to write new words to an old familiar song

The thing about windows, from what I can tell
Is the closer you look the more you look at yourself
Well, life's a chipped mirror I keep trying to see through
Confusing what used to be with what is still true

All that I can say is, my time isn't here
Maybe I need a few more growing-up years
I'm glad that you're happy, now I'll turn my head
From windows behind me to doors up ahead
