Album: Misplaced Childhood

Kayleigh

Do you remember, chalk hearts melting on a playground wall?
Do you remember, dawn escapes from moonwashed college halls?
Do you remember, cherry blossom in the market square?
Do you remember, I thought it was confetti in our hair?
By the way didn't I break your heart?
Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart
So sorry I never meant to break your heart
But you broke mine
Kayleigh is it too late to say I'm sorry?
And Kayleigh could we get it together again?
I can't go on pretending that it came to a natural end
Kayleigh I never thought I'd miss you
And Kayleigh I hoped that we'd always stay friends
We said our love would last forever
So how did it come to this bitter end?
Do you remember, barefoot on the lawn with shooting stars?
Do you remember, loving on the floor in Belsize Park?
Do you remember, dancing in stilletos in the snow?
Do you remember, you never understood I had to go?
By the way, didn't I break your heart?
Please excuse me I never meant to break your heart
So sorry, I never meant to break your heart
But you broke mine
Kayleigh, I just want to say I'm sorry
But Kayleigh I'm too scared to pick up the phone
To find you've found another lover to patch up our broken home
Kayleigh, I'm still trying to write that love song
Kayleigh it's more important to me now you're gone
Maybe it'll prove that we were right
Or it will prove that I was wrong
Alternate lyrics from Westwood One In Concert
Do you remember chalk hearts melting on a playground wall?
Do you remember dawn escapes from moon-washed college halls?
Do you remember dreaming on the heath till after dark?
Do you remember loving on the floor in Belsize Park?
By the way, didn't I break your heart?
Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart.
So sorry, I never meant to break your heart
But you broke mine.
Kayleigh, we could have a garden.
Kayleigh, we could, damn it, just one more time.
We could mow the lawn on Sundays, we could capture suntans from the breeze.
Kayleigh we promised it forever but Kayleigh the secrets held on.
We could buy the house in heaven, we could always try and take us along again.
Do you remember blocked up lines and call from Montreal?
Do you remember your mother asked me never to call?
Do you remember talking in the bedroom making plans?
Do you remember you told me I should join a band?
By the way, didn't I break your heart?
Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart.
So sorry, I never meant to break your heart
But you broke mine.
Kayleigh, we could have a garden.
Kayleigh we could work it just one more time.
We could mow the lawn on Sundays, we could capture suntans from the breeze.
Kayleigh, it never worked out this time but Kayleigh, we could promise again.
The problem seems to be the secrets, you could say it came to a natural end.
