| [00:05.222] |
My life started when I |
| [00:08.342] |
Went for a jog |
| [00:09.421] |
And spotted you in the park |
| [00:12.637] |
Sitting with a dog |
| [00:14.799] |
So I stopped and asked, |
| [00:16.935] |
"can I pet your dog?" |
| [00:19.118] |
And so there we were, me and this golden retriever, |
| [00:21.556] |
Basking in the abundance of sun austin provides and |
| [00:25.630] |
Suddenly you blurted out, |
| [00:28.057] |
"this isn't my dog. |
| [00:29.646] |
Actually, it's my friend's dog, sheila |
| [00:32.898] |
I'm taking care of her while he's away |
| [00:35.577] |
She's on a lot of medication." |
| [00:40.468] |
And I laughed and you laughed |
| [00:42.080] |
Saying you didn't want to be found out |
| [00:43.427] |
When you asked me to coffee |
| [00:45.808] |
And there was no dog |
| [00:48.258] |
I said yes |
| [00:49.336] |
And you said |
| [00:51.218] |
"I'm Jase, what's your name?" |
| [00:55.550] |
And I heard the perfect opportunity |
| [01:01.243] |
To be someone else entirely |
| [01:06.370] |
Free from my history |
| [01:10.966] |
For one single cup of coffee |
| [01:14.472] |
I would be natalie |
| [01:20.103] |
Obviously, that's not how it went down. one cup of |
| [01:23.031] |
Coffee turned into two bottles of wine, three |
| [01:25.722] |
Desserts and staying up talking until four in the |
| [01:27.895] |
Morning. too late to backpedal, too good not to keep going. |
| [01:34.557] |
It felt like my life but a better version |
| [01:44.497] |
With you in my life I was a better person |
| [01:51.528] |
I heard music in the words you were saying |
| [01:55.038] |
Melodies with no band playing |
| [01:58.278] |
For the first time I was |
| [02:01.760] |
In love |
| [02:06.868] |
And I loved |
| [02:10.903] |
Who I was with you. |
| [02:17.627] |
All the mundane shit I used to hate like |
| [02:20.324] |
Recycling plastic and flossing everyday |
| [02:22.739] |
Making breakfast, paying bills |
| [02:24.909] |
Watering the plants on our windowsill |
| [02:27.579] |
Was invigorated with your sense of wonder. |
| [02:30.541] |
Pillow talk, afternoon walks |
| [02:32.690] |
Holding hands in the parking lot |
| [02:34.849] |
Of home depot, dealing with inevitable |
| [02:37.253] |
Misfortunes that were barely manageable |
| [02:39.941] |
Like that time we accidentally hit a squirrel with your car. |
| [02:45.873] |
That was an unfortunate anecdote |
| [02:50.789] |
But do you know what I mean? |
| [02:54.529] |
It felt like my life but a better version |
| [03:04.450] |
With you in my life I was a better person |
| [03:11.802] |
I heard music in the words you were saying |
| [03:15.334] |
Melodies with no band playing |
| [03:18.573] |
For the first time I was |
| [03:22.078] |
In love |
| [03:26.907] |
And I loved |
| [03:30.949] |
Who I was with you. |
| [03:37.695] |
My parents finally tracked me down |
| [03:39.889] |
After years of jumping from town to town |
| [03:42.859] |
They found |
| [03:44.485] |
You and me |
| [03:45.541] |
Men in suits at our front door |
| [03:47.408] |
Asking you about Judith ford |
| [03:49.849] |
And I knew |
| [03:51.184] |
Instantly |
| [03:56.294] |
They say before you die |
| [03:59.208] |
Your whole life flashes before your very eyes |
| [04:03.766] |
Well it didn't the first time |
| [04:05.963] |
But this time I heard |
| [04:08.391] |
Each and every lie |
| [04:12.441] |
I'd ever told you |
| [04:14.893] |
I tried to cling to |
| [04:17.610] |
The life I'd made |
| [04:19.758] |
Together with you |
| [04:22.428] |
So I did the only thing I knew how to |
| [04:27.547] |
I denied who I was because |
| [04:35.094] |
I wanted to keep my life, but the better version |
| [04:45.873] |
Natalie, your wife, she was a better person |
| [04:53.670] |
I memorized your voice and how you say goodbye |
| [04:57.974] |
But you never said goodbye, you never said goodbye |
| [05:03.305] |
And I held onto our life |
| [05:11.885] |
And who I was with you |
| [05:17.250] |
Who I was with you |
| [05:22.125] |
Who I was with you. |
