Hundred miles away, memories stay

That covered bridge where our names are still engraved

You turned to go; I turned to leave

Then you turned to go, and I turned to leaves

In the cool shade of a sycamore tree,

I paint a perfect portrait of how it used to be

When Im alone my mind it slows

You can paint a smiling face on a scarecrow



But I know myself, I cant be like that

I cant help myself, I will always cry

Keep my frown in a jar on a shelf

Put on my favorite smile

So far away, in my high state



In my head, its all I want to think about

But I stop instead, I got to learn to live without

Itll be easier in the end

When I thought I lost another I can learn to lose a friend



But I know myself, I cant be like that

I cant help myself, I will always cry

Keep my frown in a jar on a shelf

Put on my favorite smile

So far away, in my high state



Under a stone in the back, Ive grown a flower for you, dear

A flower thats so beautiful it may now be flying up here

I water it every day and I rip out every weed

How could I just let it wilt, but it will for just a seed



But I know myself, I cant be like that

I cant help myself, I will always cry

Keep my frown in a jar on a shelf

Put on my favorite smile

So far away, in my high state
