slipping through my fingers

I missed the turn on the street
Where you lived and now I'm
Crying here in the car

I know these houses and yards
Like the back of my hand
So why do I feel so lost

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time

I wanna scream but I don't
I just sit here watching school busses stop at the light
I wish I left this city in my memory
Why did I come back, what did I think I 'd see
Trapped inside a pictures I don't wanna be
Was this ever mine?

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Flowers in the cracks in sidewalk
Leading to a rock in the ground with your name
Say a couple words but I can't hear myself talk
Someone's mowing the graves

Ya, think this was a mistake
I don't wanna think of you this way
I can feel my memories melting, like someone's
Pouring gasoline on a birthday cake

Who's living in my old bedroom?
Who's got locker number 142?
Why does it feel like I'm getting run through
Every time I come through?

Everything we did
Does it even matter?
Was it even real?
Did it even happen?
Tell me why it feels like
I'm stuck a bad dream
Tell me it's a bad dream

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
