lyrics

I'm driving down your old street, the tenth time today
I listened to the same song, and I drove away
I never tire of seeing, your old man's car
Out front in the driveway, telling me I should be
Far away from here
You answered the telephone, while you were asleep
And you sounded tired but said we should meet
We looked at some photos, that you tried to keep
You told me where you'd been and it sounded deep
And far away from here
Please can I stay, for one more hour today
I won't be long and I'll be gone
Watching you wave goodbye
Now I'm not so sorry for listening to your stories and talking
Weed out your collection, do it fast and clean
Just take what you can now, and leave them out to bleed
Alone and far away
Please can I stay, for one more hour today
I don't belong, so I should be gone
You can watch me wave goodbye.
Goodbye.
