Forre Sterra - Louise Lyrics

You used to call me from the porch
I'd sneak out, we'd watch the branches in twilight
Skip summer school for days on end
Drove your father's car up to the river bend
We lived stories from the books we read
And made fun of how tragically they'd end
Now our lives have changed in so many ways
Still pretend to be in that summer haze
But dear Louise
Now you never seem to be enough for me
My dear Louise
We're so wrapped up in our fake machinery
Still remember when we bought our first car
That rusty old Jaguar
We couldn't be more happy you and me
Thought we had the whole world at our feat
Why we had to marry and settle down
How could I take that job in another town
Being star-eyed lovers across the lawn
Was never meant to last a lifetime
Oh dear Louise
Now you never seem to be enough for me
My dear Louise
We're so wrapped up in our fake machinery
But dear Louise
Maybe you and I just weren't meant to be
