Lyrics

Do you remember that summer
Out behind the pines
When I knew it was my turn
To leave you behind
I was sure the guilt would kill me
Long before the fall
'Cause it made you wonder
Was there ever anything at all
But little clouds surround the sun
The daydream's over, the nightmare's begun
Through little clouds we watch the sun go down
Casting shadows on the ground
Don't ask me to stay
There's too much in our way
And I can't take it all
Don't ask me to go
There's too much that I know
And I can't fake it
So we abandoned your Lincoln
Up in the sugar bush
Out through the warren
Where you gave me the push
And we buried our bridges
Down by the reservoir
And the hermit came and
Covered all the tracks back to your car
But those little clouds up in the sky
They gather closer til they block out the light
Through little clouds we watch the sun go down
Casting shadows on the ground
Don't ask me to stay
There's too much in our way
And I can't take it all
Don't ask me to go
There's too much that I know
And I can't fake it
No, I can't fake it
I just can't take it all
No, I can't fake it now
Now
I always breathe easy next to you
You know I always breathe easy next to you
It's true
Then I find your coat in the hall again
It reminds me when we were more than friends
I know we all have our lies to shield
Our mask to wear out on the battlefield
When the demon screamed in your great escape
From a house so haunted that you ran away
All the souvenirs that time forgot
Like your dreams lost out in the parking lot
I want to brush your hair from across your eyes
And the sunglasses that you hide behind
But you know I know when it's still too much
'Cause you're close to me but not close enough
'Cause I see your face in the song again
But you're nowhere inside
I'm dying inside
I need you right by my side
No, I can't fake it now
Now
I always breathe easy with you
