Lyrics

Coming up to the city, it’s a quarter past five
The skyline looks so pretty
But me I’m just subprime
I’m thinking about how you build something one brick at a time
Oh lover I’m gonna miss you for the rest of my life

Tell me now why hard times keep getting harder
Tell me why's that good life keep slipping farther on
This highway is stretching long
It's just lines between lines
Oh lover I’m gonna miss you for a really long time

An eagle and an aeroplane just sharing the same sky
I watch them from my windowpane, just like memories floating by
While I’m packing up my boxes, my shirt and my shoes
Oh lover I’m gonna miss you and I hope you’ll miss me too

Tell me now why hard times keep getting harder
Tell me why's that good life keep slipping farther on
This highway is stretching long
It's just lines between lines
Oh lover I’m gonna miss you for a really long time

Tell me what’s it gonna take to shake this shame
Oh lover I hope you'll know my pain

Driving on from this city for the very last time
The sun sets in my rearview just like an angel-red wine
As rain it hits the windshield one drop at a time
Oh lover I’m gonna miss you for the rest of my life
Lover I’m gonna miss you for the rest of my life
