if you take / a photograph of me / leave it in the sun 

/ let the edges buckle up

and then place / that picture on your desk / it would 

seem as if / i were reaching out of it



everyone / as they're growing up / tends to drift apart 

/ mark one up to entropy

so we try / try to stay in touch / but that's not good 

enough / at least not for you and me



i'm tired of visiting / each town looks the same / 

except for whether you are there

so i try to pretend that when this visit ends i can 

just walk back home again

several city blocks away



ihatethisihatethisihatethis.....




so i'll take / a photograph of you / put it in my car / 

tape it to my steering wheel

so that whenever i'm driving / i'll be tempted to / 

keep going til i get to you



i'm tired of visiting / each town looks the same / 

except for whether you are there

so i try to pretend that when this visit ends i can 

just walk back home again

several city blocks away
