[Intro]
There is a light that never goes out, but try as I might
I can't seem to find it now
[Verse 1]
I promised I'd be true come high water or hell
I told you that I'd hold you through student loans and dry spells
But sometimes promises they don't mean nothing
[Chorus]
But each of us is every bit as guilty as the other one is now
I wouldn't turn it around
As far as I see, there's just no way around that
Sometimes love leaves, and that leaves you and me to sort it out
[Verse 2]
Was it the "I love yous" and the "I'll be home soons"
Or the "Baby please don't wait ups" that start to sound like rain drops?
A skipping record. A ticking clock
[Verse 3]
Now we both know how the distance looms
But it's a different kind distance when you're just in the next room
We're both getting a signal but want it to stop
[Chorus] (x2)
[Outro]
To sort it, to sort it out
Think of me when the church bells ring
Down the street from the beach house in the spring
The Merrimack's still thawing out and I miss everything
Think of me when the flowers bloom
On the window sill in the living room
The Merrimack's still thawing out and I miss everything
