| We met on the corner
|
| Teenage kids smoking 'til we got sick
|
| Had to muscle through the front door
|
| Cause you lost my keys in the snow outside
|
| Of the place where your dad died
|
| Drank a broken heart to death
|
| While you watched and you wept
|
| And you say you don’t believe in love
|
| Every time we lie in bed, you say it again
|
| I passed on the offer
|
| Of a full ride free of a mother and the heat
|
| Of a family caving inwards
|
| No, you can’t keep float when you live with a ghost
|
| In a thousand years it never changed
|
| And I’ve only got sixty if I’m lucky
|
| I remember Len said to me
|
| That we do what we can in the time that we spend
|
| Oh no, you can’t keep floating along
|
| Oh no no no no
|
| You’ve got to know this is it
|
| Did you have to waste a bit?
|
| Nobody knows the same things that we say
|
| And you’ve got the weight on your back
|
| Could you be worse at that?
|
| Everyone else says we’re getting old
|
| I’ll settle in I’m told
|
| Gonna drive my car
|
| Again too far
|
| Your ghost is in the passenger seat
|
| We met on the corner
|
| Your body was still but your mouth sarcastically
|
| Said it was an honor
|
| And I know when you’re tired of this I’ll see you again |
