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
