Christopher Owens - Everywhere You Knew

Copied!

Just when I thought it was over
I said, come sit on my lap
You did and you asked me why
I hadn't tried to kiss you yet
And I said that I wanted to yesterday
When you took me to your mother's house
And we watched television on the couch
And then I bought a pack of cigarettes

You said let's get up and go
Somewhere no one would be around
I said okay, and we got up and ran right out through the crowd
And when I took your hands in mine and I kissed you
I don't think there was anybody else in the world
When you said I should kiss you forever, I said that I would

Walking back down through the city
We stopped everywhere you knew
You said you felt so in love
I said that I felt it too
And then we laid in the park
'till the sun came up
It felt so good we couldn't do it enough
You said you never spent the night outside
With a boy on the grass

Saying goodbye the next day was so hard
That I nearly cried
Later I did when I was boarding the plane
But it was alright
I knew that even if my plane went down
I'd be just fine if I was thinking about
Falling in love with you
On the first tour with my band

edit bio

Christopher David Owens (born July 13, 1979) is an American singer, songwriter, and musician. He is best known as the frontman and songwriter for the now-disbanded indie rock band Girls. He released his debut album as a solo artist, Lysandre, in January 2013.

Owens was born in Miami, Florida. At the time of his birth, both his parents were members of the Children of God traveling religious community. Shortly before Owens' birth his infant brother Steven died of pneumonia due to the reluctance of the church’s members to seek professional medical assistance. In 1981, Owens' family left the United States to travel with the church and he lived “all over Asia” until he was ten, before traveling throughout Western Europe. Owens learned to play guitar in his early teens and would perform covers of Everly Brothers and The Fleetwoods songs on the street. At the age of sixteen, he left the church while based in Slovenia and followed his sister to Amarillo, Texas. Owens spent his first four years in Texas working as a nighttime shelf stocker in Albertson’s grocery store as well as in various restaurants. In 2001 he met artist and oil tycoon Stanley Marsh 3, who hired him first as a lawn mower and later as a personal assistant. After nine years in Texas, Owens moved to San Francisco, California with the intention of becoming a “famous painter”. There he met musicians Matt Fishbeck and Ariel Pink and joined their band Holy Shit as a touring guitarist. In 2007, Owens was inspired to form his own band and began writing songs for the first time at the age of 28.
