She & Him - I Thought I Saw Your Face Today Lyrics






I thought I saw your face today
But I just turned my head away
Your face against the trees
But I just see the memories
As they come
As they come

And I couldn't help but fall in love again
No, I couldn't help but fall in love again

I saw it glitter as I grew
And loved it why I never knew
I thought this place was heaven sent
But now it's just a monument
In my mind
In my mind

And I couldn't help but fall in love again
No, I couldn't help but fall in love again

The cars and freeways implore me to stay away
Out of this place
My mother said just keep your head
And play it as it lays

The cars and freeways implore me to stay away
Out of this place
My mother said just keep your head
And play it as it lays

I somehow see what's beautiful
In things that are ephemeral
I'm my only friend, am I?
Love is just a piece of time
In the world
In the world

And I couldn't help but fall in love again
No, I couldn't help but fall in love again
No, I couldn't help but fall in love again
No, I couldn't help but fall in love again
No, I couldn't help but fall in love again

  2. C.... A....

    this song is nostalgia to me

  3. S.... s....

    I was only 6 years old when I heard this. Brings back so many memories of my mother.. love this song!! <3

  4. J.... B....

    I LOVE ZOEY SO  MUCH

  5. A.... A....

    once i had a little girl with zooey's lookalike (especially her bangs OMG). she said that it is her favourite she and him's song. it gives me ghoosebump and chill everytime i hear this song, thus think about my zooey lookalike. i still love you till now

  6. G.... P....

    I love this song, but it is quite painful to listen to. It reminds me of some people in my life i have regarded as important once. Two girls, as a matter of fact. But neither of them know this. If i ever commit suicide, my note would be the hand-written lyrics of this song. And that would be it.

  7. B.... M....

    Thank you mightly for this video. Love this song on a early summer day in LA.

    It's funny how music can transport you to a place and time so far gone. I know exactly where I was in 2011 when I first heard this and the summer made the leather seats of her BMW feel like hot asphalt. I miss you wherever you are ❤️

  10. D.... R....

    This song used to hurt so much every time I'd listen, but now I can finally enjoy it again.

    D.... R....

    The same to me

  11. D.... R....

    Man this brings back painful memories

    D.... R....

    Sorry bro

  12. L.... W....

    She & Him are Risen

  13. T.... ....

    NOT enough whistling in the world nowadays.  And not that much in the music world either.  Thank you She & Him.

    T.... ....

    TheScunneredMan TheScunneredMan.

    T.... ....

    If only she & him still made music

    T.... ....

    Well, they realesed a song a year ago, but I'm hoping for a new album to come out

  14. G.... W....

    watching elf with my son, first time he's seen it, building those Christmas traditions:)

    G.... W....

    Is this song in Elf? I mean, Zooey is in it, but I never noticed the song...

    G.... W....

    @Iris Manning no it isn't, but I'm the kind of fan that loves when I can embrace the diversity of an artist's talent. I'm pretty nerdy that way. Like Mandi Patinkin was inigo Montoya on princess bride and the fbi mogule on criminal minds but did you know he has a voice of gold on Broadway? He was in Evita and a bunch of other sondheim plays. And did you know that Dumbledore wrote the song "someone left the cake out in the rain"?
    I live for that nonsense

    G.... W....

    Lol! That sounds really funny. I think I'll check that out.

  15. m.... r....

    how can you not LOVE !!!!!! THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  16. c.... ....

    i saw her face today...

  17. G.... C....

    I thought  I saw your face today
    But I just, Turned my face away
    Your face Against the trees
    But I just see
    The memories
    As they come.... <3

    G.... C....

    No esta mal chiquilla soñadora! Jajajajaja

    G.... C....
