Objects Of My Affection

I remember when, when I first moved here
 A long time ago
 'Cause I'd heard some song I used to hear back then
 A long time ago
 ♪
 I remember when, even further back
 In another town
 'Cause I saw something written I used to say back then
 Hard to comprehend
 And the question is, was I more alive then than I am now?
 I happily have to disagree
 I laugh more often now, I cry more often now
 I am more me
 ♪
 But of course some days I just lie around
 And hardly exist
 And can't tell apart what I'm eating
 From my hand or my wrist
 'Cause flesh is flesh, flesh as flesh as flesh
 The difference is thin
 But life has a certain ability of breathing new life into me
 So I breathe it in
 It says here we are and we all are here
 And you still can make sense
 If you just show up and present an honest face
 Instead of that grin
 And the question is, was I more alive then than I am now?
 I happily have to disagree
 I laugh more often now, I cry more often now
 I am more me
 ♪
 And the other day, this new friend of mine
 Said something to me
 just because something start diferently
 does not mean it worth less
 And I soaked it in, how I soaked it in
 How I soaked it in
 And just as to prove how right he was
 Then you came
 So I'm gonna give, yes I'm gonna give
 I'm gonna give you a try
 So I'm gonna give, yes I'm gonna give
 I'm gonna give you a try
 And the question is, was I more alive then than I am now?
 I happily have to disagree
 I laugh more often now, I cry more often now
 I am more me
