Sebago

I thought that I was such a big shot Leaving home to move a thousand miles away I couldn't wait to leave New England Couldn't think of a good reason to stay I never thought that I would miss the ocean Always thought that that was just a phrase But I guess it takes a lonely southern summer To really miss the waves At Old Orchard beach But I don't care what eighteen-year-old me said I'll always be in love with the state of Maine I'll keep my memories up there in Sebago 'Til I can go and visit them again A couple years ago they sold our cabin And then the owner tore it down for some extra space Even though it's no longer existent I still say that it's my favorite place People say that I'm so sentimental But it's just cause I know nothing stays the same So maybe if I keep a couple heirlooms They can keep me anchored in the change Cause I don't care what eighteen-year-old me said I'll always be in love with the state of Maine I'll keep my memories up there in Sebago 'Til I can go and visit them again Well it's cranberry paint and a creaky back door And long conversations on a wraparound porch Nana would sing but she can't do that anymore The people made the place and that we can't restore Cause now I know about what love and loss means Somehow the world still spins after she's gone But I remember her up in Sebago And I can hear her in my favorite songs So I will honor her and sing along
