Describe the town
Like it's somewhere I have never been
Show me around
Like it's not the house that I grew up in
Stealing sips of my tonic and my gin
Talk of common elsewheres
And common friends of friends
About time that I found myself in someone else's car
Driving with a stranger, staring blankly at the stars
And I can't tell if you like home best,
Or hiding on the internet
Or passing like a tourist through somebody else's heart
And there's a house along Lyndale
With a sign hung in the window
And we drive through the winter down Lyndale
Calling out to me
In scrolling LED
Said "it won't be like this forever,"
All I can do is surrender
You tell me that sounds sad
I say it's a comforting truth
That it won't be like this forever
Cause why would you really want it to?
I don't
Do you?
I didn't think so
Did you play me for a fool?
Lift me with the evening fog
you don't touch me like I'm god
And you don't touch me like I'm there to be consumed
Nothing to carry along
History's moot and future's gone
It all leaves with you when you leave the room
I think that's cool
I think it's even why I like you
