Scattered

Take a ride through town and Every road is memory lane All the fading signs read your name Take a look around and All the stores and windows have changed But your ghost's reflection's the same And do you remember holding hands and schoolyard kisses? Do you remember them calling us Mister and Misses? We were only kids learning how to keep our hearts from burning Living in that same old town But you've long been gone and the world's been turning Some days I take a walk around on main street Hoping I'll turn the corner staring down at your feet This tired epilogue of love and pages left bare Goes on as long as I see memories we scattered everywhere Staring up at stars thinking Somewhere out to the east you might be Looking at the same ones as me Then the cold dry winds blow And the moon paints craters in snow Over grass we'd laid in below Sometimes I listen for tapping on my window sill oh Sometimes I'm wishing you'd sneak on in and share my pillow Maybe one day wake up, without a word we'd make up I wanna live one day in the life Of a happy end to the longest break up Some days I take a walk around on main street Hoping I'll turn the corner staring down at your feet This tired epilogue of love and pages left bare Goes on as long as I see memories we scattered everywhere I pass your old house sometimes on holidays, homecoming stays When you might be around for a while Your bedroom light is on, I know it's wrong But it's just not like me to be reminiscing in style But do you remember meeting in between our classes? Said you were pretty, and cuter when you wore your glasses The tree out in the front lawn, we used to have our lunch on It's either stuck in a place or time Cause our past still lives in a life that's not mine Some days I take a walk around on main street Hoping I'll turn the corner staring down at your feet This tired epilogue of love and pages left bare Goes on as long as I see memories we scattered everywhere
