From the recording Introducing
A bittersweet, intimate ballad about trying not to be pulled back into a love that lingers. With quiet longing and honest restraint, it traces the ache of memories you’re determined not to dwell on.
If you see me cryin’ darlin’ I don’t need you to care.
I’m not thinkin’ ‘bout drivin’ down that road with your fingers in my hair.
No I’m not, I’m not thinkin’ about it.
Once upon a time, beyond reason or rhyme,
There was a time, your eyes would shine, looking into mine.
How are we to ever know? How long to hang on and when to let go?
Near as I can tell we just learn as we go, You pick a road, and you tow the load.
So if you see me dying darlin’ I don’t need you to despair.
I’m not thinking about those words that you said, or how I just stood there.
I’m not thinkin’ about your mouth, your lips, I’m not tryin’ to turn back time.
No I’m not, I’m not thinkin’ about it.
I’m not thinkin’ bout rowing you out to my boat,
I’m not thinkin’ about trust, Not thinkin’ about hope.
I’m not thinkin about you in that dress, the look in your eyes,
Lord I’d be a mess. I’m not thinkin’ about all we could or should be, not the taste of your love,
Don’t miss you under me.
I’m not thinkin’ about you all of the time, no I’m not, I’m not thinkin’ about it.
You say you’re not in love anymore, and I see pterodactyls on the shore.
On the water was some of our best time but, that’s no longer on my mind.
For a while I wanted to beg and to plead,
It’s hard to realize we’re not what we need.
I’d write a song just to help me get along, but I’m not thinkin’ about it.
So if you see me livin’ baby it’s been hard without you there.
I never think about your mouth, your lips or your fingers in my hair.
No I’m not, I’m not thinkin’ about it. Oh no, no I’m not, I’m not thinkin’ about it.
What I say? I said no, no I’m not, I’m not thinkin’ about it.
Not your sighs or the look in your eyes when I… I’m not thinkin’ about it.
