[Verse 1]
When the floods of August
Tore right through this town
We wondered what would be revealed
And what dreams would drown
Now I see you made it
And you heard I made it, too
But the sane washed away from our foundations
In fact you can see right through
[Chorus]
And now we're barely there
Oh, we're barely there
Oh yeah, we're barely there
You can squint or you can stare
But we're barely there
[Verse 2]
Now the paths we once walked
They're all rocks and vines
Holding tight to what they've got
Purchase beneath these pines
Now I tried holding tight to you
But you slipped away in time
Faded like this road trip photo
From 1989
[Chorus]
And now we're barely there
Oh, we're barely there
Oh yeah, we're barely there
Once you loved me like a dare
Now we're barely there
[Outro]
And now we're barely there
Oh we're barely there
You can see us through the glare
But we're barely there
Oh, we're barely there
Now we're barely there
Like a phantom or a flare
But we were solid once, I swear
Now you hardly have to care
'Cause we're barely there
