You used to be scared of the water
You're safe by the side of your father
Your sense of the world lay
In your little home by the harbor

You've always felt small in the city
You think that last fall you were with me
And all of your old clothes
Are still in the hall of my building

You never asked once
No, you never asked why
If I was puttin' things off
If I was drinking too much of that red wine

No, you'd wear yourself thin
And accept every sin
And if I glued myself shut
You would find your way in

We gambled our souls to the summer
Rattled our bones to the thunder
We watched every sunset
Until we got sick of each other

You've always said fall was your season
That everyone's here for a reason
I stared at your packed bags
And asked what the hell you were meanin'

You never asked once
No, you never asked why
If I was puttin' things off
If I was drinking too much of that red wine
No, you'd wear yourself thin
And accept every sin
And if I glued myself shut
You would find your way in

It only feels real after rainin'
And hearts only heal after breaking
I stare at the tree line
And noticed the leaves aren't changin'

And does the wind blow in Cape Elizabeth?
Constant and cold, how do we live with this?
Love was a deadline
Spend the rest of my life fuckin' missin' it

You never asked once
No, you never asked why
If I was puttin' things off
If I was drinking too much of that red wine

No, you'd wear yourself thin
And accept every sin
And if I glue myself shut
You would find your way in
