lyrics

I don’t Believe I’ve told you
Without your visits don’t know where I might have been
Three hour drive for no particular good reason
A picture of a changing season

Saw you standing on the sidewalk, staring into space
A pensive look upon your weatherbeaten face
A weary look upon your face

Your highest expectations let you argue with yourself
I’d like to see somebody try and chip away that shell
You spread yourself a little
Enthusiasm beyond reason
You cross a line it comes a-tumbling at your feet
I found you standing in the street

In need of some attention
you rang my place but got no answer
Your choice of words betray some trouble back at home
and yet you don’t pick up the phone
Why people let you down again is difficult to say
The things you do to reach them might be pushing them away

And I think I’ve been where you’ve been
I left the city when things didn’t go my way
Cut off all my hair and cut off all my ties
and told myself comforting lies

The triumphs and the tragedies seem even in my dreams
The sweater from September comes apart at all the seams
You’ve made your own decision
Can’t help but feel it’s not my place to interfere
I send a line to you and wait another year
It’s not my place to interfere
You need me, I will still be here

Hold on, do I still owe you one?
