[00:05.222]My life started when I
[00:08.342]Went for a jog
[00:09.421]And spotted you in the park
[00:12.637]Sitting with a dog
[00:14.799]So I stopped and asked,
[00:16.935]"can I pet your dog?"
[00:19.118]And so there we were, me and this golden retriever,
[00:21.556]Basking in the abundance of sun austin provides and
[00:25.630]Suddenly you blurted out,
[00:28.057]"this isn't my dog.
[00:29.646]Actually, it's my friend's dog, sheila
[00:32.898]I'm taking care of her while he's away
[00:35.577]She's on a lot of medication."
[00:40.468]And I laughed and you laughed
[00:42.080]Saying you didn't want to be found out
[00:43.427]When you asked me to coffee
[00:45.808]And there was no dog
[00:48.258]I said yes
[00:49.336]And you said
[00:51.218]"I'm Jase, what's your name?"
[00:55.550]And I heard the perfect opportunity
[01:01.243]To be someone else entirely
[01:06.370]Free from my history
[01:10.966]For one single cup of coffee
[01:14.472]I would be natalie
[01:20.103]Obviously, that's not how it went down. one cup of
[01:23.031]Coffee turned into two bottles of wine, three
[01:25.722]Desserts and staying up talking until four in the
[01:27.895]Morning. too late to backpedal, too good not to keep going.
[01:34.557]It felt like my life but a better version
[01:44.497]With you in my life I was a better person
[01:51.528]I heard music in the words you were saying
[01:55.038]Melodies with no band playing
[01:58.278]For the first time I was
[02:01.760]In love
[02:06.868]And I loved
[02:10.903]Who I was with you.
[02:17.627]All the mundane shit I used to hate like
[02:20.324]Recycling plastic and flossing everyday
[02:22.739]Making breakfast, paying bills
[02:24.909]Watering the plants on our windowsill
[02:27.579]Was invigorated with your sense of wonder.
[02:30.541]Pillow talk, afternoon walks
[02:32.690]Holding hands in the parking lot
[02:34.849]Of home depot, dealing with inevitable
[02:37.253]Misfortunes that were barely manageable
[02:39.941]Like that time we accidentally hit a squirrel with your car.
[02:45.873]That was an unfortunate anecdote
[02:50.789]But do you know what I mean?
[02:54.529]It felt like my life but a better version
[03:04.450]With you in my life I was a better person
[03:11.802]I heard music in the words you were saying
[03:15.334]Melodies with no band playing
[03:18.573]For the first time I was
[03:22.078]In love
[03:26.907]And I loved
[03:30.949]Who I was with you.
[03:37.695]My parents finally tracked me down
[03:39.889]After years of jumping from town to town
[03:42.859]They found
[03:44.485]You and me
[03:45.541]Men in suits at our front door
[03:47.408]Asking you about Judith ford
[03:49.849]And I knew
[03:51.184]Instantly
[03:56.294]They say before you die
[03:59.208]Your whole life flashes before your very eyes
[04:03.766]Well it didn't the first time
[04:05.963]But this time I heard
[04:08.391]Each and every lie
[04:12.441]I'd ever told you
[04:14.893]I tried to cling to
[04:17.610]The life I'd made
[04:19.758]Together with you
[04:22.428]So I did the only thing I knew how to
[04:27.547]I denied who I was because
[04:35.094]I wanted to keep my life, but the better version
[04:45.873]Natalie, your wife, she was a better person
[04:53.670]I memorized your voice and how you say goodbye
[04:57.974]But you never said goodbye, you never said goodbye
[05:03.305]And I held onto our life
[05:11.885]And who I was with you
[05:17.250]Who I was with you
[05:22.125]Who I was with you.
