Until Now

From the moment you open the curtains you know it's a weird one

You can tell by the way that the light hits the dust in your room

You were an echo of yourself

An empty well, a standing wave

And no one on this side of town could save you

Ooh, until now

Ooh, until now

There's a beer in the car and it's only getting warmer

And Carrie's around, but they're only in town for the day

There was a body of water there

Maybe half a mile from home

We'd never even skimmed a stone until you dove in, yeah

And we were yearlings at your waist

When you told us your given name

Your given name was never what we called you

Ooh, until now

Ooh, until now

Carrie and you, they're still carrying me

Decorate the monument to Carrie, you, and me

There is a body of water where you could call out to a friend

And listen as the echo dies away

The echo dies away
