lyrics

We talked of love breaks

I meant to tell you wait

I never meant to leave in time to get back home to Providence

I lost you on the phone

I lost you way before

I remember playing tag

And letting you catch me

Providence in the dark

I’m gonna start the truck now just to be pretending that I’m coming home

I’m gonna put the seat back just to be pretending you were there before

You were there before

Never thought id be here saying goodbyes here in such an empty house

Something about the minute hand and your hand makes me want to leave this town

So I’ll go back to the boardwalk one last time

And lay there in the paint silhouette where you first traced my lines

Let’s talk about the road

That bloomed with sunflowers dead in the summer

And all our friends knew to find us

Drive up and down up and down

I drew a tight rope from Atlantic to the back of my house

I drew the words I love you

I drew them in the dirt in the dirt

I’m gonna start the truck now just to be pretending that I’m coming home

I’m gonna put the seat back just to be pretending you were there before

You were there before

We talked of love breaks

I meant to tell you wait

I never meant to leave in time to get back home to Providence
