    Default Strangest Places

    It's the hair tie left in my car
    A tag found in a box
    A long forgotten message
    About your "stupid long locks"
    It's the single brown hair
    On the cast aside shirt
    It's hard to decide
    Which to remember first

    I see you everywhere
    Pieces of you in strangers' faces
    I keep finding these things
    Traces of you in the strangest places

    I cherish the pain
    It makes you feel so near
    Missing you all the time
    Just proof that you were here
    I can't wrap my mind
    Around "you're gone..."
    They ask me how you are doing
    Makes the road seem so long

    I see you everywhere
    Pieces of you in strangers' faces
    I keep finding these things
    Traces of you in the strangest places

    Bridge
    I close my eyes
    And I see a face
    So familiar
    But I can't place
    I hope it's you
    But I'm so jaded
    It's been so long
    My memory has faded

    I see you everywhere
    Pieces of you in strangers' faces
    I keep finding these things
    Traces of you in the strangest places

    This is SO GOOD!!I'd like to hear the "backstory"on this,it's that interesting!All my songs about breaking up or love lost are about two girls.This is so familiar,the story close to home.Read the other version,I like this one the best..........by a long shot!

    @Doug... She fills my dreams... But she's several states away.... We spent a week together earlier this year and it was amazing... I've known her for so long and I can't believe I let her get away... She left her hair tie in my car the last night we were together and it hangs from my mirror now... there was one of her hairs on my shirt when i went to do the wash... I found a tag from her bra (long story...) from when we were in high school in a box not too long ago... I find traces of her in the strangest places... But she's gone...

    this is excellent. I would like to see another piece of info in the bridge though...You are repeating the same thing as the rest of the lyric, give something quirky another piece of info, the oh yeah and this....to tie it all up before the chorus.

    Really nice writing.
