Hand out the window

Floatin' on air

Just a flip of the wrist

And I am wavin' you goodbye

Drive past the lifeguard stand

Where I sit around waiting for you to remember

As I drive

How the girls could turn to ghosts before your eyes

And the very dreams that led to them are keeping them from dying

And how the grace with which she walked into your life

Will stay with you in your steps,

And pace with you a while

For so long, so long [x2]

The speaker in this door is blown

So nothing sounds quite right

Takin' my time, takin' this drive, wavin' this town goodbye,

And I drive this ocean road and remember

The small of your back

And the nape of your neck

I remember everything as I drive, wavin' this town goodbye

I remember

How the girls can turn to ghosts before your eyes

And the very dreams that led to them are keeping them from dying

And how the grace with which she walked into your life

Will stay with you in your steps,

Pace with you a while

So long, so long...

And I will leave under the cover

Of summer's kiss upon the sky

Like the stone face of your lover

Just before she says goodbye

I was certain that the season could be held between my arms

Well just as summer's hold is fleeting

I was here but now I'm gone...

I'm gone... I'm gone, I'm gone

I'm gone...
