lyrics

if I could only show you, I was thinkin' to myself,
those endless vast expanses and the sunset in the west
if I could show you half of all these pictures in my head,
then I swear that you would start to understand
what once was light and free has become heavy on our shoulders,
but we carry it still knowing all the reasons
I tried to drink those memories away as I got older,
but I never could forget about your leavin'

and I know this is gettin' old,
but could we just sit out on your back porch,
drink a beer and then I'll go
we both got work, I know it's gettin' late,
with us you know it's always been that way.

I remember in that big old buick sittin by yer side,
drivin down to brooklyn in the fall
jawbreaker on the stereo, I think I coulda died,
content there in the front seat of yer car
down in that darkest place it seemed like no one gave a damn,
till there you were when I had nothing else
it seems the story of our lives will not read how I planned,
but I still can't wait to see what happens next

and I know this is gettin' old,
but could we just sit out on your back porch,
drink a beer and then I'll go
we both got work, I know it's gettin' late,
(with us you know it's always been that way.)3x
