The Year My Voice Broke

The highest note on the highest string
 Of an old Australian violin
 Brushes the grasses and slips through the dark
 'Til it finally settles into my brand-new heart
 I know you can hear me although you cannot see me
 All my life you've been there. All your life I've been here
 That was the year that my heart broke
 I guess somebody misspoke
 It was my heart that broke
 Can't find the words to describe how bad it feels
 It's so absurd to be the third wheel
 In this haunted house or on this stupid bike
 That's not the kind of guy that you're supposed to like
 I know that you can hear me although you are not near me
 All my life you've been there. All your life I've been here
 That was the year that my heart broke
 They say the first time you choke
 It was my heart that broke
 If I could hypnotize you, I would take advantage of the moment
 That I had control
 Instead I agonize and do my best to manage on my own
 I've no control over anything in my life
 Did they all know from the start
 That you were born with a desperate heart
 No one told me, there was no secret revealed
 I spent the night imagining you were out there in our field
 I know that you can hear me although you are not near me
 All your life I'll be here. All my life you'll be there.
 That was the year that my heart broke
 Maybe I'll always be the joke
 It was my heart that broke
 All your life I'll be here. All my life you'll be there
 That was the year that my heart broke
 I guess somebody misspoke
 It was my heart that broke
