Don't Know You Anymore

 

This song is from Savage Garden's second (and last) album, Affirmation, from 1999.  I still remember who gave me the CD; someone that I've lost contact with.  If I remember correctly, "Affirmation", "The Animal Song" and "I Knew I Loved You" were the songs that were released from this album.  Years ago, I heard "Two Beds and a Coffee Machine" somewhere and revisited this CD.

Today, 14 years after the release of this album, I finally discovered this song.  Way back then, this meant absolutely nothing to me and I never paid any attention to this song.  When I spontaneously put this CD into the car and heard this song today, it brought that chest pain feeling all over again.  Guess I'm just going a little crazy these days......

Savage Garden - Don't Know You Anymore

I would like to visit you for a while
Get away and out of this city
Maybe I shouldn't have called but
Someone had to be the first to break
We can go sit on your back porch
Relax
Talk about anything
It don't matter
I'll be courageous if you can pretend
That you've forgiven me

'Cause I don't know you anymore
I don't recognise this place
The picture frames have changed
And so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

Springtime in the city
Always such a relief from winter freeze
The snow was more lonely than cold if you know what I mean
Everyone's got an agenda
Don't stop keep that chin up you'll be alright
Can you believe what a year it's been
Are you still the same?
Has your opinion changed?

'Cause I don't know you anymore
I don't recognise this place
The picture frames have changed
And so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from these sentences
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

I know I let you down
Again and again
I know I never really treated you right
I've paid the price
I'm still paying for it every day

So maybe I shouldn't have called
Was it too soon to tell?
Oh what the hell It doesn't really matter
How do you redefine something that never really had a name?
Has your opinion changed?

'Cause I don't know you anymore
I don't recognise this place
The picture frames have changed
And so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

I see your face
I see your face
