Jessica Heine Funny How the Days Go By Lyrics

Funny how the days go by,
Planes leave tracks across the sky,
I wave my fingers hastily, hope nobodies watching me.
My actions are all predisposed by magazines I'll never own,
Jeans I can't afford to buy, yeah jeans I can't afford to buy.
And I am just the afterglow of a girl you used to think you'd know some day
But she has gone away, that girl has left and gone away
And it isn't the same.
Funny how the days go by,
I miss you lots, I cannot lie,
But as I am the way I am, I will not tell you how I am
So now I'm walking down the street, alone I'm tripping on these feet
In shoes I should have thrown away, they fall apart with each new day
Still I am just the afterglow of a girl you used to think you'd know some day
But she has gone away, that girl has left and gone away
Well don't tell me about my mom and dad and all the dreams that they once had
For you and me and us and them, there is no us, or even them, for you.
You are walking away from me, and I don't know what to say to you, to say
"I'm not okay with you." So I turn around, and I walk the other way, and say that I'm doing okay, believe me I'm doing okay.
Without you.
So I called you up to say hello, and find out how it is things go,
See how you have really been, since I have gone to be with you.
But you're not there and I am glad, well I wouldn't want you alone and said
Since I am out here having fun, believe me I am having fun.
Without you.
You are a walking away from me, and I don't know what to say to you, to say
"I'm not okay with you." So I turn around, and I walk the other way, and say that I'm doing okay, believe me I'm doing okay, I'm doing great.
Without you.
And we are just the afterglow, of some people we used to think we'd know
Some day but we have gone away, we have both left and gone away
So don't tell me about your mom and dad, I'm sure they're really kind of glad, they never liked me anyway, they never liked the games I'd play
And don't tell me about my mom and dad and all the dreams that they once had
For you and me and us and them, there is no us, or even them, for you.
