Well, it seems to me that we had it once. Did we let it go?
Did we let it rust? Did we let it jump like a spark out of a fire?
Lord, they look so good shining out against the night
It’s so hard to remember they’re just dying.
It’s so hard to remember they’re all dying.


I hit a bird with my windshield as I was driving down the highway.
Watched him hit the road in my rearview.
Yeah, he got up once but the wind was too much.
I watched him go down between those yellow lines
And I was thinking about me and you.
Yeah, I’m always thinking about me and you.

Signed a paper today that said that you and I were a mistake.
We both made underneath that walnut tree in June.
And I wouldn’t take it back if I could but I can’t
So I’ll just thank you. I suppose that’s all there’s left for me to do.
Yeah, I suppose that’s all there’s left for me to do.


I believe that regret is just a stain of mistakes we make
And I got so many now left on my hands.
You asked me for nothing when we started and I’m sorry
It seems that’s all I gave you in the end.
I’m so sorry that’s all that I gave you in the end.
