Lyrics
I’ve been here for 27 years..
When it's clear and Saint Helens appears
With its flat top, 10 years after that popped
My family made the move from Illinois,
15 later I was in the sandlot, sharpening this blade like Katana
I met this girl off stage at the Tonic
MySpace, we was on it
We exchanged more than comments
Things were simpler back then but still change was upon us,
Fast forward twelve years
She's made up her mind, and I've made up mine
Not sure what the future holds but right now we're trying
To hold this together
Still in this together
So if she's leaving, I’m leaving with her
She's made up her mind, and I've made up mine
Not sure what the future holds but right now we're trying
To hold this together
Still in this together
We leaving left, there's no looking back
Cuz what's even left, don't look at that
This isn't what it was..
when it was new to me, cant speak for us
Somewhere between sick and the perfect buzz
A layer of dirt that we yearned to touch
You never planned to live here for good..
It’s too bad you found me, I kept you long as I could..
I shouldn't boast, but you could've went running like Hood to Coast
The years have flown by, now this adult life we been thrust into ..
No more drunk nights full of lust with you
We cleaned up, like this place we don't recognize, gentrified
Safer but less exciting than the grime we felt alive in
Boy meets cold world then a East Coast girl
Shows up like space heater
Brings him home, make his holidays sweeter
He meets her family, it's awkward but official
As inches of fresh snow makes for picturesque stroll
In the small town she grew up in..
It’s different from the city he's accustomed
She trusts him
Lets him inside and behind the scenes
To her bedroom full of childhood dreams and teenage crushes
But it's time to leave
Return the next year solidified the need
To return again in the Fall when the vibrant leaves
Bring the tourists through
Like that time we said our vows surrounded by orange hills
And just a few folks
Then it was back to the Northwest, business as usual..
we had our ups and downs
I’ve prolonged her stay
She's homesick, my homes with her, guess we on our way.. let's go
