I never heard you say you’ll miss me like the lights in december

or “won’t you please stay,” leave me something that I’ll remember

against the woodgrain of the front door, your old apartment

where I would pray that you would not compartmentalize

the golden years, honey, honey, you’ll bring me to tears

under your neon lights hung like stars, honey, honey that’s how it starts

afloat your seven seas, are you there to carry me?

I heard you moved away, you don’t need anyone in our hometown

I always thought you’d stray, but not without so much as a goodbye

I hope those motel rooms make your dreams come true, pure inspiration

maybe they can give you all you wanted, pure isolation

away from me, honey, honey, I hope you see

will I ever be the same, honey, honey, when I hear your name

watch you disappear, I will hold you close to me

afloat your seven seas, are you there to carry me?
