The Recognition Scene
Lyrics
we broke the doorknob off of the door.
the door swung open easily.
we sauntered into the poorly lit store,
and looked around lazily.
we stole every bit of candy they had inside.
gobbled it all up greedily on our 3 month ride.
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone.
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone.
you headed out to the getaway car
and hit the open road
I saw something written in tall clear letters on your face
but I could not break the code.
we had hot caramel sticking to our teeth
and the only love I've ever known burning underneath
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone.
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone.
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone.
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone.

- This is a song (well, of course its a song, it would be weird if I was about to do a play). This is a song about how there’s a moment in every relationship where you look at the person you love and you think, inside yourself, ‘I don’t actually love you anymore. What am I gonna do now? I don’t wanna say that, you know, I mean what would happen if I said that?’ Well, nothing would happen. I mean, you’d just have a conversation, but you think inside yourself something disastrous will happen. So you don’t say nothin’. Then it’s next week, and you still feel the same way, now what are you going to do? Now you’ve spent a week living a terrible lie! So you’ve already got a week invested, you might as well give it another year. That’s what this song is about. (2003-06-27)
