Things Will Never Be the Same

I saw you through the window and I caught you looking at me Remember how they told us age was the enemy Still you held my hand so tight as we said each other's name Things will never be the same We found lightening in a bottle and thought it would explode So we shook it and we took it to the dark end of the road Threw it down on the ground and walked away from the flames Things will never be the same Memories broke through the glass Like walking, talking photographs Reminded me of a black and white I watched one time late at night We called out to the one you know The one I've never seen before Looking for some else to blame Stretch marks and purple hearts Cigarettes in brand new cars Things will never be the same I cut off that television some one gave to us Said I'd see you on down the line but I guess missed the bus I can't wait for tomorrow but I'm stuck in yesterday Things will never be the same Memories broke through the glass Like walking, talking photographs Reminded me of a black and white I watched one time late at night We called out to the one you know The one I've never seen before Looking for some else to blame Rest stops and soda pop New Orleans and southern rock Things will never be the same
