lyrics

The highest note on the highest string
Of an old Australian violin
Brushes the grasses and slips through the dark
‘Til it finally settles into my brand-new heart.

I know you can hear me although you’re not near me
All my life you’ve been there. All your life I’ve been here.
That was the year that my heart broke
I guess somebody misspoke
It was my heart that broke.

Can’t find the words to describe how bad it feels
It’s so absurd to be the third wheel
In this haunted house or on this stupid bike
That’s not the kind of guy that you’re supposed to like.

I know you can hear me although you’re not near me
All my life you’ve been there. All your life I’ve been here.
That was the year that my heart broke
They say the first time you choke
It was my heart that broke.

If I could hypnotize you, I would take advantage of the moment that I had control
Instead I agonize and do my best to manage on my own
I’ve no control over anything in my life.

Did they all know from the start
That you were born with a desperate heart
No one told me, there was no secret revealed
I spent the night imagining you were out there in our field.

I know you can hear me although you’re not near me.
All my life you’ll been there. All your life I’ll been here.
That was the year that my heart broke
Maybe I’ll always be the joke
It was my heart that broke.
All my life you’ll been there
All your life I’ll been here
That was the year that my heart broke
I guess somebody misspoke
It was my heart that broke.
