I'm going to leave the same way I came
Up threw the ashes
Then out through the ashes
If a house once stood here on this worn foundation
Then you sure could have fooled me
Though I admit
I was a fool for your southern days
One hundred and fifty degrees in the shade
It wasn't an option to go back to my place
I was put in my place
After all, we live in separate houses
We have for all our lives
It sure would have been nice to say I knew you, though
I don't worry half as much as I did
When I was an experiment
Your resident tourniquet lax now about your neck
Waiting, just waiting...
Waiting, just waiting...
When will this sinking feeling
Feel like
"Man, that was ages ago"
I am a mantle
You dear, are a painting
Come rest your frame on me
Come rest your frame on me
I was a tower
You dear, were an airplane
We happened before we knew what was happening
It sure would have been nice to say I knew you, though
Man, that was
Ages ago
