lyrics

Heard you got a job as a mailman.
Heard you’re playing around in a couple bands.
Wish I could come to the show but I understand.
Can’t just walk in like any other fan.
But I always loved the way you play guitar.
You’ve got style. No one’s doin’ it like you are.

In many European cities there’s a bridge
where lovers put locks on the rails
and throw their keys into the river beneath.
We were two such suckers.
But the metal weighs down the bearings and the city has to cut the bolts.
If our spell wore off, maybe it’s all their fault.

You’re a bullseye and I aimed right.
I’m a straight shot. You’re a grand prize.
It was young love, it was dumb luck.
Holding each other so tight we got stuck.

I’ll miss borrowing your books to read your notes in the margins,
the closest I came to reading your mind.
The answers to the questions only made more questions.
I hope you’re never fully satisfied.
But I wanted to be there the day you figured it all out.
Whoever is, I hope they’re proud.

You’re a bullseye and I aimed right.
I’m a straight shot. You’re a grand prize.
It was young love, it was dumb luck.
Holding each other so tight we got stuck.

Found some of your stuff at my new house.
Packed it on accident when I was moving out.
It’s probably wrong to think of them as your gifts to me.
More like victims of my sentimentality.
Man, it’s hard to quit while you’re ahead,
letting the best laid plans become empty threats.
But I meant every word I said
when I said it.

The world that we built meant the world to me.
When one world ends, the other worlds keep spinning.
