Lyric North Main Street

The warmth of north main street
Shows me how I took myself through
Illogical landscapes with you
Scribbling on napkins in foreign ports
All sorts of sidewalks I don t traverse anymore
All kinds of people I don t write into the score

Well I see you drive your car past my house
You re so far from admitting I ve emerged
From under your deep weather
You may never hear the future I have heard

Oh the sound rebounds off the highest plateau
Of the people I will love
And the things I will know
If I go

The utility of lipstick
Escapes to a styrofoam cup
The coffee gone, the conversation strong
Oh though leaving s never easy
Sentiments like shadows grow long

Your tears collect outside my bedroom window
Like the winter s last little snow

And I am still the worst company that I have ever kept
I just didn t want you to witness my weakness as I wept
And I still define myself by the places that I ve been
I just didn t want you to see me traveling inbetween

It seems to me I m not doing anything new
I m just not doing what I used to

The warmth of north main street
Shows me how I took myself through
Illogical landscapes with you
Scribbling on napkins in foreign ports
All sorts of sidewalks I don t traverse anymore
All kinds of people I know right into the score

Well I see you drive your car past my house
You re so far from admitting I ve emerged
From under your deep weather
You may never hear the future I have heard

Oh the sound rebounds off the highest plateau
Of the people I will love
And the things I will know
If I go
