  • I thought I saw your face today
    But I just turned my head away
    Your face against the trees
    But I just see the memories as they come
    As they come

    And I couldn't help but fall in love again
    No, I couldn't help but fall in love again

    I saw it glitter as I grew
    And loved it, boy, I never knew
    I thought this place was heaven sent
    But now it's just a monument in my mind
    In my mind

    And I couldn't help but fall in love again
    No, I couldn't help but fall in love again

    The cars and freeways implore me to stay
    Away, out of this place
    My mother said, "Just keep your head
    And play it as it lays"

    The cars and freeways implore me to stay
    Away, out of this place
    My mother said, "Just keep your head
    And play it as it lays"

    I somehow see what's beautiful
    In things that are ephemeral
    I'm my only friend of mine
    And love is just a piece of time in the world
    In the world

    And I couldn't help but fall in love again
    No, I couldn't help but fall in love again
    No, I couldn't help but fall in love again
    No, I couldn't help but fall in love again
    No, I couldn't help Writer/s: Zooey Clare Deschanel
