i love this tune. in some weird way it reminds me of the record "trust" by elvis costello.
lyrics
back then
you moved so fast you were a blur
cupid never got an arrow in you
and if he had tried you'd have beat him black and blue
you used to laugh at the fools in town holding hands
delusional you'd say to yourself
now here you are with no one else on
valentine's day
valentine's day
and everyhting was different when this one came
little amy would have done anything for you
(any little thing you asked her to)
but you made her feel like she was no one
she had no choice she had to run
(she was gone)
here you are a stranger in your home town
(does anybody know you're still around)
move like a ghost through your empty house
what would you pay to have her back here now on
(chorus)
you try not to let the word "help"
escape from your mouth
(but it wants to come out)
stare out of your empty room
can't recall what you used to do on
(chorus)
