I thought I saw you there Standing by the lake I wondered then if l Could redirect my veins And set a course the blood To the heart of someone else Would you feel how I feel I uttered to myself The funny thing 'bout time They say it heals all wounds It seems that ours have festered In the absence of the truth A great magnetic field Directed north and south I could kiss you on the head Or should I hit you in the mouth? It's anybody's year Anyone but us I called myself a car While you ran and caught the bus A desert in the eye A whisper in the dark This is how we say goodbye As two people drift apart The other day I met a friend I was glad you weren't there Why do I need you to like me? Why do I need you to care? We were drinking every night Now I drink four times a week I guess this is progress Let's tie one on for me Let's tie one for the old crew Let's tie one for the boys Wishing I could say I need you But I lost my voice I saw you at the lake And it kinda broke my heart Now I'm drowning in the wake As two people drift apart Been friends since we were kids Slammed my fingers in the door Maybe shared experience Doesn't cut it anymore A desert in the eye A whisper in the dark This is how we say goodbye As two people drift apart
