Mid Century Modern

Heard you're going through a divorce

But you're still at the same address of course

Mid century modern, car parked right out front

Same spot as it was

Wasn't that your folk's place?

Where we'd hook up as each July came

Let love arrive then slip away

As easily as the summer

If I wrote it all down

Would I have told you this before

If I'd put it all to bed

Could I explain any more

How long summer shadows fall

I try so hard to forget you

I try so hard to forget you

I drive past your house sometimes

Make the excuse it's the short way round

Think of all those years before

No longer modern but getting old

I said I'd write it all down

If I could remember everything

But I left it all there

Thinking one day I'd return

How long summer shadows fall

I try so hard to forget you

I try so hard to forget you

Mid century modern house all crumbling down

Some things that start so well just don't seem to work out

Funny how that photograph survived

You and me both so young and alive

I try so hard to forget you

I try so hard to forget you

I try so hard to forget you

Forget you

To forget you
