lyrics

You left me standing here
I haven't moved in at least three years
And it's convenient to say
I'd be okay if just let this go

But I can't let this go
I let the ghosts of my past
Keep me grasping for the same note
You blame it on fate
Well that's the problem I face
Destiny never went my way

I'm dust trying to settle - I waste my time
Finding solid earth to lay myself to rest
When the western breeze carries me
Out to the open tide; I was never anything

With these days come and gone
I'll think back to when we used to sit
By the train tracks
And let the day waste away
It's become easy to forget
All the times that you spent with the people
Who knew what you meant when you said,
"I hope this night never ends."

Don't forget me
