Clara Lyrics by The Ataris

...Anywhere but Here

1997

I saw you crying as I turned away
Did I see your face, like it wasn't there
And I know what went wrong
Yeah, I knew it all along
But I didn't care about you

Clara, where are you today?
And did you make the same mistakes
That I made a million times before I met you?
Did you go, did you run, did you think of your son?
Did you know you're not the only one
That tried to make a piece of coal into a diamond? Yeah

So everything's fine now, at least you say
Maybe that's okay, but you know it's wrong
Was I right, did it last?
Were you dwelling on the past
Or hanging on to a memory?

So you say your time will never come
Maybe you should go ahead and jump
Then you'll become
Exactly what you are hanging onto
Standing there on the bridge with your feet on the ledge
Maybe I might push you over the edge
And send you falling straight to the ground
