While waiting for my boss to pick me up the other day
I realized that I've been living my life completely wrong
so I quit my job the next morning
I dusted off my bike and I rode it through a town
over bridges around buses till i found places I'd forgot
I felt just like an old time explorer
and I rode past your house
throwing rocks at your windows and laughing
it's been 4 years since you lived there my how time keeps passing
and I went down to the river where we watched the barges pass
and joked about how if i could swim we would ride them
All the way up the ohio to pittsburgh
and I picked a couple flowers and I tossed them in the stream
and pretended you were still standing there with meeee
but i haven't seen you in three summers
but one day we'll find a way to finally stand each other
so we can kick it like we did when we were young and tried to play the games of lovers
I listened to the tape you made me when we first met.
it's funny how a kiss can make it so hard to forget
how I cried when you said you were leaving
all at once those songs were more than just some music for my ears
they were you, they were me, they were everything i feared
and as the last song ended so did our friendship
and if you asked me how I felt with you I'd probably have to say infinite
you were the only person willing to try and understand me yet
