When I Didn’t Know How to Sing (D.Dagenais)
I never knew you but I knew you well
from a song on the radio a night hot as hell
I laid on my bed my feet on the wall
head to the speaker
with your voice in my heart
both broken in some part
your words in my soul
when I didn't know how to sing
You never knew me
but you knew me best
stole all your best lines out of my chest
while I was dancing with a shadow
I knew that had no face
but it was you in my arms
when my arms were empty
comfort and kindness
when I didn't know how to sing
years can change a lot of things,
memories among them
and innocence and belief
can be wrung from them
but I remember you and me
the summer I was 13
and your song in my mind
and my mind was open
your voice in my heart
before it was broken
your soul in my soul
when I didn't know how to sing
