lyrics

i was raised in the evergreens,
you grew up on the other side of the river, south of me.
& we got down to your brother's house,
where the old roads meet their end, out in texas.

we walked along the streets & all,
& you always wanted me to stay awhile.
while all i could think was,
how i might get back to her again.
the sun said goodbye & i drove out,
into the cold, dark, night.

well it was not as advertised, no
not like the magazines or films i have seen.
'cause i arrived to the greyest skies,
& survived the coldest winter known to man

now i walk the streets alone,
& realized i can't stay away from you.
& all i could think was,
how i might get you back again.
the sun said goodbye & so did you, to all we had

'cause when the morning came your shadow was long,
& i don't think you're that tall anymore.
& when the morning came your shadow was long,
& now i know you're not that tall anymore.
so let's white it out 'til there's nothing left,
no, not a single trace of you on a page,
so let's white it out 'til there's nothing left,
no, not a single trace of you on my mind.

& the sun said goodbye,
and so did i, one last time.
