As it pulled away
The Greyhound took the shade with it
Don't you feel the sun come down?
It can get so lonely downtown
Rolling down the hill
I tell myself a million times
It's gonna be an ok year
It can get so lonely down here
Leave the car in drive
It will only take a moment to say goodbye
Laughing through the pain
Of keeping up appearances
Honey that's a waste of time
But it can get so lonely sometimes
You know we couldn't keep
That promise til the end of time
They're never really what they seem
The shadow of a green-eyed daydream
Leave the car in drive
It will only take a moment to say goodbye
And if you should survive
Honey I'll be back before you notice that I'm gone
I wanna pull away
But even when I try
Your pictures keep me warm
So I'll be waiting for your call
That's just how it is for now
But it won't be this way forever
