lyrics

In your brother’s Nissan Micra
At a burger place back home
You finished your diet coke
And told me “that’s all she wrote”
With Asbury Park on the stereo
To the tune of growing up
Our last record played, our bill was paid
I reached the bottom of my cup
We had 6 weeks left in school
And 16 songs I wrote
When I called for you at your mama’s place
She said “Son, you’ve missed the boat”

You blamed it on the luck of the deal
It doesn’t really matter how anyone feels
I don’t know if it’s you or the town
But there’s something heavy here
That’s holding me down
And if you can feel it too
Get gone

It’s 3 years later and I am sat
In a different girl’s university flat
She told me we should go part time
Over Chinese food and Australian wine
I couldn’t tell her I loved her
Couldn’t tell her how I felt
I couldn’t bridge the gap
Between the cities where we dwelt
We talked and ate and sat on the floor
Some times these things end with a whisper not a roar
A taxi was called, she waved in the rain
I cried a whole bucket on that cross-country train

I know the ship was sinking for days
When the steering’s wrecked
You take your chances with the waves
I don’t know where we are both bound
But there’s something heavy here
That’s holding me down
And if you can’t feel it too
You’re lost

As we look across the table
Suddenly I’m sure
Look you don’t have to say it
I’ve been here before
As the waiter serves our coffee
I wonder what she’d say
If she could see how far I’ve come
Since my drive-thru days
We go through the motions
We split it even ways
Still I can’t help but wonder
Who’s gonna keep our favourite café?

When will be my last last meal?
I want off this ride
This ever-turning wheel
I don’t know where she’ll be found
But there’s something heavy here
It’s dragging me down
So if you are hungry too
Let’s get a bite

After every last supper
I tell myself it’s fine, I’ve already forgot her
