The warmth of north main street Shows me how I took myself through Illogical landscapes with you Scribbling on napkins in foreign ports All sorts of sidewalks I don't traverse anymore All kinds of people I don't write into the score
Well I see you drive your car past my house You're so far from admitting I've emerged From under your deep weather You may never hear the future I have heard
Oh the sound rebounds off the highest plateau Of the people I will love And the things I will know If I go
The utility of lipstick Escapes to a styrofoam cup The coffee gone, the conversation strong Oh though leaving's never easy Sentiments like shadows grow long
Your tears collect outside my bedroom window Like the winter's last little snow
And I am still the worst company that I have ever kept I just didn't want you to witness my weakness as I wept And I still define myself by the places that I've been I just didn't want you to see me traveling inbetween
It seems to me I'm not doing anything new I'm just not doing what I used to
The warmth of north main street Shows me how I took myself through Illogical landscapes with you Scribbling on napkins in foreign ports All sorts of sidewalks I don't traverse anymore All kinds of people I know right into the score
Well I see you drive your car past my house You're so far from admitting I've emerged From under your deep weather You may never hear the future I have heard
Oh the sound rebounds off the highest plateau Of the people I will love And the things I will know If I go
