• It's been a while but I've come around
    From falling out of my silver clouds
    I've been walking in these wet sneakers
    Trying to peer through the sheets of snow
    In this panoramic snow globe town
    You claimed to be in love with another
    So you left your home town abode by Maine's bay
    And all you had the nerve to say
    Was I won't forget

    Chorus
    The evening drives down the autumn lanes
    Each dive into the Atlantic's crashing waves
    It's all in the photos; it's all that's left over
    Taped up on the walls of my forgotten bedroom
    To mark the years we won't have again
    All the years Cupid had us hooked on us

    I've dismounted the comforts of Cloud Nine
    Living the rest of the day until ten twenty-nine
    Collapsing on your old front lawn
    Waiting for the sprinklers to go off
    Maybe it'll stop this death trance
    You left this old life like it was never there
    Now it's becoming mere reflex
    To just lay back and re track
    To remember once more

    Chorus

    Bridge
    Old Valentine cards from high school
    You wrote by the light of your desk lamp
    Swore you'd make me your bride
    Someday
    But someday never came
    'Cause you hopped into the plane
    Departing for bigger city lights
    With your new girl in your arms

    Chorus
    The evening drives through the autumn lanes
    Each dive into the Atlantic's crashing waves
    It's all in the photos; it's all that's left over
    Taped on the walls of this unfurnished room
    To mark the years we'll never have again
    A reminder of every vow you broke
    Just another blow to my bandaged heart
    All the good damage done in 5 years
