Me and Annie were sitting in the car
we were playing the tape you made
There were some songs that I wouldn't have chosen
but all in all, we both agreed that it was pretty great
We weren't really talking about anything
we felt pure and unadulterated
I would forget why we were laughing
and she would forget what we came to the care for
I thought I saw you the other day
I was in the park by your old job
Ain't it funny how the city keeps beating on after we're long gone
You used to say we were too pretty for this place
That night you said a lot of dumb things
You were as soft as I always wondered
I always wondered what you were like when you were younger
What were you like I saw your eyes that night
they looked like empty pools of light, they looked like diamonds
and they were trying to tell me something
They said nothing
It was a little after midnight when the first few drops fell
Did you feel them honey, or did you feel nothing
I'm forgetting faster than I ever thought I could
I'm learning I can give up trying to do good
The stars out here shine pretty, they are numerous and pure
I never cry, I never scream, I know I should
