So here we go...
Intro =
We took a weekend, drove to Provo
-Walk-
The snow was white and fluffy
But a weekend in Utah won't fix what's wrong with us
And the grey sky was vast and real cryptic above me
---
-Walk-
I wanted you, to love me like you used to do
---
We took 2 weeks in the Bahamas
Went out dancing every night
Tried to fight the creeping sense of dread with temporal things
Most of the time I guess I felt alright
---
-Walk-
But I wanted you, to love me like you used to do
But you cannot run, And you cannot hide
From the wreck we've made of our house, And the mess inside
---
We went down to New Orleans
One weekend in the Spring
Looked hard for what we'd lost
It was painful to admit it, but we couldn't find a thing
---
-Walk-
And I wanted you, to love me like you used to do
---
Went to New York City in September
Took a train out of Manhattan, to the Grand Army stop
Found that bench we'd sat together on a thousand years ago
When I felt such love for you I thought my heart was gonna pop
---
-Walk-
And I wanted you, to love me like you used to do
But I cannot run, And I can't hide
From the wreck we've made of our house, And the mess inside
