Oh I hesitate to dip into a day
Like the one where we were standing in the greenhouse
You asked if I had ever tasted lemonade
As sweet as the one that you had offered
Oh my love
It's a funny thing, what memory does
It paints all the walls the color of love
And when you're lookin' back with those glasses on
It gets hard to remember anything was ever wrong
Oh my love, it's not love that leaves you sad
It's that nagging little feeling of what you think you'll never have
When you're standing at the ocean and you feel like giving up
And you're crying 'cause you know you can't take it home in your cup
And I don't like to think, that I could be that small
That I could be that petty, and miss the point of it all
It's that damn nostalgia, when it's not over yet
When your happiest memories are filled with regret.
Oh my love, it's not love that leaves you sad
It's that nagging little feeling of what you think you'll never have
When you're standing at the ocean and you feel like giving up
And you're crying 'cause you know you can't take it home in your cup
