Lyrics
Heart-eology.
I saw you just the other day
in a yearbook photo online
and it all came rushing back to me,
just how very much you meant to me
but you were never mine......
Never mind.....
Chorus-
You were "My Girl Next Door"
but you were so much more
than that cliche....you captured me
From the seventh grade
till I was out of school
but loving you could never be
more than just a dream.
I lingered for a while
back then
recalling those days,
as I sat entranced
all over again
by your lovely gaze.
staring out at me
with the hint of a smile
from some long lost page....
of my youthful days
now yellowed with age
and crazed with
sorrow and rage.
Then I simply deleted
a girl that I 'd once needed
that time had re-bestowed
with no reasons for reminscing
on all the days that I'd spent wishing
for sweet love I'd never know..
You were a relic
in love's tomb disturbed
by my re-discovery,
but there was little to treasure
nothing offered me pleasure
in my heart-eology.......
yeah.... there was little to treasure
and nothing offered me pleasure
in my heart-eology.......
