The Interloper

I tried to locate my emotions, I guess I buried them too deep
I tried to look for all my demons
Asked my conscious, he didn’t speak
Then I laid out the jaws, it’s been way too long
(It's been way too long)
I’ll trace my finger over everyone
I’ll chase the memory back to where it begun
You were one in a million
I’ve had a million and one
The night, it sings a pretty chorus
With the windows cracked a bit
And the radio is on
But only tuned in to static
And I know you’re in the trunk
And you probably can’t breathe
But I did this all for us
No, wait, I did this just for me
I’ll trace my finger over everyone
I’ll chase the memory back to where it begun
You were one in a million
But I’ve had a million and one
I never look at my collection
I know I’m getting pretty old
I’d probably throw them all away
If they weren’t trophies that I hold
But you, you were different
You had a lot of fight in you
And I’ve counted to a million
And there ain’t no sight of you
I laid out the jaws
It’s been way too long
I’ll trace my finger over everyone
I’ll chase the memory back to where it begun
You were one in a million
But I’ve had a million and one
Now you’re left with the babbling rubes
What in the devil are you gonna do?
How do you misplace, how do you misplace
How do you misplace the favorite?
I knew one day
Forgotten or hidden away
