I've Seen Those Hands Before


I've seen those hands before In a different country far from here I've smelled that scent before But it's not like he's standing beside me Flashbacks through my senses My minds spinning, this roads endless... again A crowded street, somewhere in Italy Don't know what got into me, I guess he was on my mind cause I called out for him five times Flashbacks through my senses my minds spinning, this roads endless... again Trying to forget you... again Running through these streets... again Won't cure me of the pain from back then I've seen those hands before I know them as well as my own I've heard that voice before Reminds me why I left home Flashback through my senses My minds spinning, this roads endless... again And his name is everywhere I see his gaze in strangers eyes I see the flash of his smile Every time a car speeds by Sometimes I wake up Thinking I'm back in that city where these sheets were his arms But then I remember he's not with me I've seen those hands before So wide, so slender, so comforting I've smelled that scent before so warm and inviting I've heard that voice before every evening to help me fall asleep The last time I saw him was in my dreams I'm crying inside... Again.... I'm loosing my mind... Again... But ill try... Again... To forget him... Again... And I try to replace and I try to reclaim I try to move on try to keep out of brain... I'm going insane I've seen those hands before In a country far from here I've heard that voice before washing away my fears I've smelled that scent before Mixed of old spice and cheer I've seen those hands before In a country far from here
