You were the coolest kid when we were teens
Sentimental but still kinda mean
We both quit school we were all we'd need
You'd have no bad word said about me
I watched you when the crowd would say
Hey that kid really knows how to play
You moved away, we let it lie
And I guess somehow the years drew by
When you called I left no questions asked
Got nothing here that I'd want back
I got to you soon as I could
That train's delayed, but it's cheap enough
We did not call it to the stand
You were still beautiful and a serious man
It's okay I don't need anything
Let's just hang out, i'll watch you play something
Tried to explain all the ways that I made it bad
I didn't know what to do with a love like that
You know I have these bad qualities
Could you ever think ill of me?
Keep that photograph like an effigy
A love like that yeah I got lucky
And it still felt good when you got mad
It swells furiously in a love like that
Heard you flew out to LAX
Did you ever quit your cigarettes?
Does the last thing that you said hold up?
That I'm the only one you ever loved
