I wrote this song on buses and at work last summer. It's weird writing a vocal piece first and music afterwards.

Story behind the song
I don't know exactly where it came from. It all just kind of sputtered out of my head. It's meant to take a more humourous approach to your standard "I love you but we can't be together" song, in that the narrator has removed the other person from their life. It amused me anyways.
Lyrics
Baggage claims Midsummer rains These are things that remind me of you Road trip rules Skipping school These are the memories I choose to keep Sleazy hotels And violin swells Bring me to life in a magical way Department stores "I love you more's" Can only imagine the look on your face I can't live here all alone It doesn't even feel like a home I can't even call you up or tell you I miss you 'cause you're dead ...to me. Valentines cards Books about mars I lock with my heart in this safe deposit box Laughing kids And street race skids Pull me away from my reveries I can't live here all alone It doesn't even feel like a home I can't even call you up or tell you I miss you 'cause you're dead And it might sound funny but I'm still in love with you And you can tell me I'm crazy 'cause through all you've put me through, I wouldn't change a thing, not a word, not a breath Or my gentle kiss on your neck Or the way that we fell into each other at threshold of the old apartment I'm so afraid to lay my hand on someone else's skin For fear they'll open up and let my bad parts in I don't want them to turn out like you I don't want to put them through what you went through But most of all I don't ever want to forget what it felt like to lay beside you. Stupid love songs "I did you wrong's" Put on display for all to see Wishing wells Nine leveled hell You always said I'd be the death of you Well you're right.
