Take a ride through town and
Every road is memory lane
All the fading signs read your name
Take a look around and
All the stores and windows have changed
But your ghost's reflection's the same
And do you remember holding hands and schoolyard kisses?
Do you remember them calling us Mister and Misses?
We were only kids learning how to keep our hearts from burning
Living in that same old town
But you've long been gone and the world's been turning
Some days I take a walk around on main street
Hoping I'll turn the corner staring down at your feet
This tired epilogue of love and pages left bare
Goes on as long as I see memories we scattered everywhere
Staring up at stars thinking
Somewhere out to the east you might be
Looking at the same ones as me
Then the cold dry winds blow
And the moon paints craters in snow
Over grass we'd laid in below
Sometimes I listen for tapping on my window sill oh
Sometimes I'm wishing you'd sneak on in and share my pillow
Maybe one day wake up, without a word we'd make up
I wanna live one day in the life
Of a happy end to the longest break up
Some days I take a walk around on main street
Hoping I'll turn the corner staring down at your feet
This tired epilogue of love and pages left bare
Goes on as long as I see memories we scattered everywhere
I pass your old house sometimes on holidays, homecoming stays
When you might be around for a while
Your bedroom light is on, I know it's wrong
But it's just not like me to be reminiscing in style
But do you remember meeting in between our classes?
Said you were pretty, and cuter when you wore your glasses
The tree out in the front lawn, we used to have our lunch on
It's either stuck in a place or time
Cause our past still lives in a life that's not mine
Some days I take a walk around on main street
Hoping I'll turn the corner staring down at your feet
This tired epilogue of love and pages left bare
Goes on as long as I see memories we scattered everywhere
