lyrics

I saw you on the 24
I couldn’t fake a smile
There’s nothing much to say to you
Between each quarter mile

You sat a couple seats ahead
I stared at all the cars
We pretended not to notice it
The swelling of our scars

Stale air hung in the evening
Dead space under each line
Cursing the day that we left
Our house for the last time

You got off down on Donald St.
And then I met your eyes
We never really understand
The things we leave behind

Stale air hung in the evening
Dead space under each line
Cursing the day that we left
Our house for the last time
