i followed you ..foolishly

you were at a smoky bar, you were out til three

sat alone inside my car, it was nearly four

we were gonna wait for you all night

so i locked the door



i was gonna spend the night, coulda been okay

we were gonna talk all night, till i went away

remember how you used to say, can't stay up late

a minute later we're older now, i can't stay awake

i'm driving by your parent's farm, in the Chevrolet

i remember that rusty car, like it was yesterday



saw my brother driving by, the other day

i wished that i'd go out to him, but he drove away

saw my sister standing there, standing in rain

then i thought about nothing, that it feels the same



another day, come and gone

don't think i can ever sing that song

little secrets we bring along

i'm taking my time, trailing behind, i thought of you

today is the day i think of you
