Then Came You [Vega Edition] (4:27)

You’re holding me up
You’re holding me down
And I just stay here

You’re closing me out
I’m closing it down
Before I disappear

I was a rubberband between the sun and the moon
And then came you
I’m stuck in neverland
I can’t end it too soon

And for years we’ve called these city streets by name
Yet never guessed ’bout what they’re named for
And for years I grasped the glory of your flame
Left grasping ashes on the floor

I’ve got the syllables and I have got the rhyme
In the coffeeshops where I sit for days at a time
You deserved more- hold the line and here’s the thing
It was the only way I knew how to be

I was a rubberband between the sun and the moon
And then came you
I’m stuck in neverland
I can’t end it too soon

When you’ve got all the facts but the truth is beyond them
When you’ve got all the answers but you cannot apply them

I was a rubberband between the sun and the moon
And then came you
I’m stuck in neverland
I can’t end it too soon

I was a rubberband between the sun and the moon
And then came you
I’m stuck in neverland
I can’t end it too soon

And then came you

Song Notes

SAMPLED SOURCES: The dialog snippets used in this song were from a tape recording my paternal grandparents created in the 1960’s. They would often drink a bit(?) then record stories my grandfather would write- and embellish them with sound effects off vinyl records!
