I Thought I Saw Your Face Today

She And Him · Volume One [2008]

I thought I saw your face today

But I just turned my head away

Your face against the trees

But I just see the memories

As they come

As they come



And I couldn't help but fall in love again

No, I couldn't help but fall in love again



I saw it glitter as I grew

And loved a boy I never knew

I thought this place was heaven-sent

But now it's just a monument

In my mind

In my mind



And I couldn't help but fall in love again

No, I couldn't help but fall in love again



The cars and freeways implore me to stay

Away out of this place

My mother said, "Just keep your head

And play it as it lays"



The cars and freeways implore me to stay

Away out of this place

My mother said, "Just keep your head

And play it as it lays"



I somehow see what's beautiful

In things that are ephemeral

I'm my only friend of mine

And love is just a piece of time

In the world

In the world



And I couldn't help but fall in love again

No, I couldn't help but fall in love again

No, I couldn't help but fall in love again

No, I couldn't help but fall in love again
