Lyrics

Into a dream I took a turn and promised to return
The way we were, the way we met, the way I lit your cigarette
The way it trailed into a stream and lay down between
You had to choose a side to lose, and divide yourself in two
The way you were long before you were a walkin' civil war
But you forget where the road goes, and tonight it shows
Into your soul I tried to climb, but found the hole to high
For me to leave the way I'd learned, and found I couldn't turn
The way the trees and fallin' rain remind me in a way
The way you were the day we met, the way I lit your cigarette
The way it changed into a strange Cole Porter phrase
But you forget how the song goes, and tonite it shows
Written by: Adam Snyder, David Fridmann, Jonathan Donahue, Sean Mackowiack, Tomasz Mackowiack
