lyrics

when i saw you in the backyard, you looked sharp like a curse
then the weeks passed and you became my favorite word
those front porch nights where we sweat out our pasts
eyes to the ground, then right into yours,
with a short nervous laugh

days laid back on my bed, where i dreamt of
how to make my life better
that summer i was broke, i only bought used records
and every night you and i would
watch our street lamp shadows grow
we blurred in the heat, slept on the beach,
and drank on the patio

and you said, "my friend, you feel things so deeply
you treat your lovers so sweetly
how are you alone? why are you alone?"

it was tough cause we always knew time
would take us over that horizon
i often thought about it when we were driving
you looked over at me and you turned down the car stereo
you said, "parting is for parts, you and me,
we're the sum of the whole"

"and we feel things so deeply
you treat your lovers so sweetly
how are you alone? why are you alone?"

time roughs up cuts that were once so tender
still i'll always feel it, i'll always remember:
whatever the condition, whereever your heart goes
you were my apparition and i was your ghost
