Meshes of the Afternoon

Took a drive to an old ghost town Took a drink and a look around Didn't take enough to drown it out The parking lot where you first got high The horror movies that I used to like Freaking out, getting real just like on TV You couldn't cry when we had to leave I saw my father marry his disease I'm still dreaming of the house where we don't live Days are slower since the sky fell down I'm losing track of where it meets the ground Let's make believe if it's all the same to you Well, you could be a wallflower ready to bloom Tangled in the meshes of the afternoon Blame it on the 21st century That sentiment has always been lost on me I could be somebody that you'd like to know But I'm drowning in the undertow Take a second just to take it in New adventures in original sin No sense burning out on a brand new start In the end will we be the same Two reflections on an equal plane Will we fall in love with everything that falls apart You could be a memory of an old friend Dear as anything that hasn't happened yet Blame it on the meshes of the afternoon I never liked ending anything too soon I could be what you see in your own mistakes Got too many, Lord, that I've made Days go by and we get older The things unsaid and the weight you're holding Pray to God your heart don't harden You will always have a part of me Promise that you'll do right by us Remember where you came from, darling Say hello and say goodbye I see a lot of you in I Goodbye
