    Chorus:
    Here is the time that we didn't speak
    It seemed for years and years
    And here's a secret no one will ever know
    The reasons for the tears they are smoke, smoke, smoke

    It’s been 15 years since I first heard this song and it still makes me weep like a baby, especially this version.

      Ben Folds is a genius. But I never understood this song. I have no idea what is about so I can't have an emotional attachment to it.

      @@danelson78 I think it's about the ending of a relationship.

      I always assumed it was about the Bible being bullshit.

    What an experience to be at this concert. And, can we try to imagine for a minute the perspective of Ben. You write these these incredible songs alone ... and then to hear them played at this quality by a world class orchestra. What a life fulfilling moment it must have been for him.

    This was such a beautiful arrangement. I've loved how it was done. Then I saw the random duck floating around near the end, and my ADHD kicked in, and now duck is life.

    I remember when I picked up his retrospective album, and this song always floored me. When I got older in my 20’s it always hit home. It was through one of the worst times of my life, but the music was there to comfort and pacify the situation. Thank god for music.

    I love them all Mr. Folds but this one is my favorite. I listen to it often but especially when I need to remember to forget.

    just came over from west 54th and I gotta say, the orchestral bongos kinda wrecks a nice vocal.

    I don't like the Disney treatment on this one. It's a personal song.
