in years to come, we'd go our separate ways,
but somehow this corner always stayed the same
and as midday traffic rushes by, I sit and have a smoke
on the mailbox by the coffee shop alone
in that kitchen where you worked when we first met,
now I find myself up early makin' breakfast for these college kids
and I wish I could tell sadie just to let you know by text,
maybe it'd work for me, oh like it did for you back then
oh well a boy was killed outside the other night,
sometimes this city's like a bus that runs you over on your bike
oh it keeps drivin' on without you
and your friends just try to go on with their lives.
do you remember,
climbing up onto that billboard at harvard and comm?
do you remember, what it was like to still feel so young?
do you remember,
when we didn't carry years of disappointment
on our backs through this heavy wet snow?
I've been followin' yer tracks around this town
and I'm tired but I can't see any other direction to go.
