Down where the road turns
And the buildings grow high like rockets
Shooting into the sky, in the countryside
In the black night the abandoned barn in the first light;
That's where I saw it
Early November pack your bags
Remember the whisper and throw it back
Look for an answer, don't throw up
Bus ride and carsick and lovesick; that's when I felt it
Thank you darling for being my friend
Next year this time, I'll see you again
Like everyone else, I was asking myself
"where's my little place in the world?"
It was getting harder, I was lost for words
Hell, I was counting every syllable
How can I tell you how sorry I am
Not being there for you when you came to a conclusion
About everything that meant something
It's strange how I turned into you
But thank you darling for being a friend
Next year this time, I'll see you again
Climb the top of the tallest tree and look for me -
Down where the road turns, that's where I'll be
Back in that small-town where the stupid is king,
Smart kiss the ground
"kid, do you have to make such a fuzz about
That you don't like it here?"
No, but still - yes, I mean to blow you away
You can have it
I don't want it
I don't want to stay
