Orland, ME

We signed the bathroom wall

And raided the freezer of every bottle of vodka

The kind of fun you can't have anymore

Like penny candy

And a dollar Arizona

And telling somebody exactly what you want

We were in Orland, Maine

Getting sun on the rocks

The first time I could swim unafraid of the bottom

You were holding me

Like you had something to tell me

But they clogged your drain

I loved you in Orland, Maine

I think that school messed you up

And I know that's a lot from the boy who was raised

To think the world was created in seven consecutive days by God

But if you spoke your mind

I wouldn't be gone

I'd be in Orland, Maine

Getting sun on the rocks

The first time I could swim unafraid of the bottom

You were holding me

Like you had something to tell me

But they clogged your drain

When I loved you in Orland, Maine

And then I started it slow

I asked you how it would feel to let me go

The flood came on

It was the most love I'd ever heard come from your mouth

The kind of love that would have killed my doubts

The kind of love that would have built that house

Out there in Orland, Maine

Getting sun on the rocks

The last time I was swimming unafraid of the bottom

You were holding me

Like you had something to tell me

But they clogged your drain

I loved you in Orland, Maine

You were looking at me like I was making it up

But where do you think I learned not to be so in love?
