woman silentbob elderly woman behind the counter in a small town I seem to recognize your face Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name Lifetimes are catching up with me All these changes taking place, I wish I'd seen the place But no one's ever taken me Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... (2x) I swear I recognize your breath Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising Me, you wouldn't recall, for I'm not my former It's hard when, your stuck upon the shelf I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate Perhaps that's what no one wants to see I just want to scream...hello...
