Meaningless

Brion Jon

That were meaningless before 
We?d seen them together 

Old hinges squeaking in the rain 
That hotel by the highway where we stayed 
There's something every hour 
Who needs the Eiffel Tower 
When we've got memories 

Of precious places, precious things 
That were meaningless before 
We?d seen them together 

The pen, the car 
The paint, the pier 
The moon and star 
The message clear 
Liberty raised her hand to us 
As if to say, "It's OK, live today, live today"

I said, "Don't leave me, don?t break the tie" 
Then I left you and the time went rolling by 
And here?s what I can't stand 
I know that every landmark 
Triggers memories 
Of stupid places and silly things 
That were meaningless before
We'd seen them together (repeat 3x)
