I wait for this town,
Fading in my mind.
And now I’m here.
The mold all stretched in time.
Feels like they know,
I’m nervous by design.
All of the kids stop to wave goodbye.
Red snow soaks into my winter coat,
and I try to hide my eyes.
I never thought that I’d be sick of coming here.
Today I only wanted,
To say I think we’re haunted.
You trace the washed out names in the pavement just outside. To say I never wanted,
You to feel forgotten.
Oh I love you cause I love to feel the pain,
Wash it down with Novocain,
And the years you wished I came...
I never.
Now outside your house, Sleeping as I wait. Parents are gone, Across the interstate.
Step out your door, Are we now the ones, People are jealous of?
I watch you disappear as I sit inside my car and act surprised, You never thought that I’d be sick of coming here.
Today I only wanted,
To say I think we’re haunted.
You trace the washed out names in the pavement just outside. To say I never wanted,
You to feel forgotten.
Oh I love you cause I love to feel the pain,
Wash it down with Novocain,
And the years you wished I came...
I never.
I never.
Red snow soaks into my winter coat, and I try to hide my eyes.

I’m staring down at my palms. The lines I can’t understand. You’re hanging over the edge. Sicker than you planned.
So please waste my time.
I’ll gladly sit here, the night goes by.
Locked outside your door.
Asleep behind both eyes.
I’d love to hear would you had to say. I’d try to act surprised.
So please waste my time. I’ve got nothing more.
Looking back down the street I’ve known.
Pressed against my sheets again, in my parent’s home.
Oh, you know, I’ve come to love the visits but I think I’m on my own. Don’t you love it when you leave? But the leavin’s all I know.
And today we’ll laugh and we’ll joke about the time we almost... Oh but don’t say, I think we’ve got another year.
And I’ll wait until you wait until it’s over.
Choked up into a dream and now we’re here.

I took a ride on the train. Jumped out to land in your car. It’s just who we are.
It’s just who we are.
You took a piece of your notebook out and taught me to play the guitar.
It’s just how we got along.
It’s just how we got along.
So... Slow.
Oh it was too far, yeah it was too far.
So go...
(I thought about all the silent fighting)
Slow.
(But you would fight the same, now and then) It’s hard. I know that...
Oh but the better times, will they come again?
I fell asleep on the drive.
Woke up and swerved on the road. It’s not how we got along.
It’s not how we got along.
The same notes play, but you can’t remember, How we wrote down the chords.
We’re just wanting more.
We’re just wanting more.
So go... Slow.
I’m sick and I, can only plagiarize.
So go...
(I thought about all the silent fighting)
Slow.
(But you would fight the same, now and then) It’s hard. I know that...
Oh but the better times, will they come again?

You had me running out,
Chasing the pavement down.
Oh how I miss that place,
It always seems to get a little better.
Oh your hairs the same,
In fact I’m not sure what has changed. And now that we’re years away,
I’m sure things’ll get a little better.
And Maybe tomorrow,
You could come here after school. And we could, go to the party, That’s how I remember you.
I’m having trouble now,
Just turning feelings down.
I know that you’re faking proud.
It always seems to get a little better.
If only you’d have stayed.
I’ve driven to many miles to say.
And now that nothings changed,
I can’t say that things will get any better.
You and me, we’ll have funny lives.
I would’ve loved you even then, but now you’re gone. I would’ve loved you even then, but now you’re gone. I would’ve loved you even then, but now you’re gone.
Cold eyes, and the feelings aren’t so certain. Bold lies, let’s just dream away today.
I’m proud that you made it on your own and This year well, I’ll just love you anyway.
You had me running out,
Chasing the pavement down.
Oh how I miss that place,
It always seems to get a little better.
Oh your hairs the same,
In fact I’m not sure what has changed. And now that we’re years away,
I’m sure things’ll get a little better.
