That final night when you told to meet you at dusk
So reminiscent of how we began the story of us
The tension built there; something we were too scared to name
We grabbed each other and we dove right in like moths to the flame
And as we burned out, so we began our trials
I held you tight and whispered that I couldn't handle the miles
The space between us - and so it became my choice
As if there was only one of us who had a voice
Rewrite the past if I could
But would it do any good?
Did the lights of Manhattan shine too bright?
So you traded Times Square for an Amarillo sky
And when you look at the sunset, does your heart ever ache
For the boy who couldn't move to the Lone Star state
I still taste that final goodbye on my tongue
Too afraid of forever we decided far too young
So now you lace up your boots, and take in those new views, and
I was just getting used to the boy who left for Houston
What do I do now? Is reaching out okay?
How do I use these lungs to speak when they can't ask you to stay?
Drive myself crazy - I don't know all the rules
You left the city and now I've just been played for the fool
Do you feel freedom, flying down the I-45?
Is it faster than the green line thru BedStuy?
Goddamn, we ran through life with reckless abandon
Now no one's there when I reach for your hand
Still I try to grieve
Still I watched you leave
Did the lights of Manhattan shine too bright?
So you traded Times Square for an Amarillo sky
And when you look at the sunset, does your heart ever ache
For the boy who couldn't move to the Lone Star state
I still taste that final goodbye on my tongue
Too afraid of forever we decided far too young
So now you lace up your boots, and take in those new views, and
I was just getting used to, the boy who left for Houston
Thought I could quit this now, and as strange as it seems
Hate to admit this, but, I still see you in my dreams
Afraid of sleeping at night, cause in these nightmares I host
I have to face the fact that I'm still in love with your ghost
And though we've both moved on, I'm still unraveling time
Searching all the memories of life that you left behind
The pain comes back and I know I'm wide awake
Maybe I'm angry as hell because you got to escape me
You got to escape me
And I can't shake you
But I can't hate you
Did the lights of Manhattan shine too bright?
So you traded Times Square for an Amarillo sky
And when you look at the sunset, does your heart ever ache
For the boy who couldn't move to the Lone Star state
I still taste that final goodbye on my tongue
Too afraid of forever we decided far too young
So now you lace up your boots, and take in those new views, and
I was just getting used to, the boy who left for Houston
Did the lights of Manhattan shine too bright?
So you traded Times Square for an Amarillo sky
And when you look at the sunset, does your heart ever ache
For the boy who couldn't move to the Lone Star state
I still taste that final goodbye on my tongue
Too afraid of forever we decided far too young
So now you lace up your boots, and take in those new views, and
I was just getting used to, the boy who left for Houston
