Story Behind The Song

Just exploring some of the music I came to love living in New Orleans.

Song Description

Mixed feelings and confusion over lost love.

Lyrics

You were all but forgotten
You made a clean getaway
And the car that never started for me
To you from here to L.A.
And if yesterday is only
A memory today

Tell me why do I
Feel this way

Oh, you left without a number
Or a forwarding address
I might have said that I don't love you no more
But I don't love you any less
And if you would have said goodbye
I would have helped you on your way

So tell me why do I
Feel this way

Now I'm still living in the same place
Where every paradox exists
Where the past and the present and the future
All combine in our midst
And if everything's so perfect here
Much better than L.A.

Tell me why Do I
Feel this way
Feel this way
Feel this way
