about

For the 10th Anniversary of this fan-favorite album, Lex revisits the songs in their original form, with their more-nascent arrangements and lyrics. This first track from "Orange Days On Lemon Street" sets the tone of the rest of the album- coming to terms with losing your first love.

lyrics

It's not my imagination
you loved me once I know
we were weakened by the distance
'cause we couldn't find a road, so

Why are we walking now
when all we've ever done is run?
How can you let go so easily
while I'm still thinking you might be the
only one for me

You told me that I was different
and that you could never be just my friend
and you'd hold me close
and promise not to go
we'd fight right through this til we'd win
and I told you that I'd wait
as I handed you my fate
but you pushed me aside
and a part of me died, so

Why are we walking now
when all we've ever done is run?
How can you let go so easily
while I'm still thinking you might be the
only one

And you told me that you needed me
to prove how wrong the others were for you
yeah, and you told me that you had big dreams but I
never saw you see them through
yeah and I told you that I loved you
and I told you you were "it"
and I told you I would marry you
but you quit

Why are we sitting down
when all we've ever done is stand?
How can you turn your back to me
as I outstretch my hand?
Why are we silent now
when all we've ever done is talk,
And why are we walking now,
when all we've ever done
is run?
