Fix me up in a red-brick hole
and you can suck out my soul on to a clean white paper
poison ivy’s got me all in a knot and I just forgot what my name is.

Boys and girls wearing pleated pants
doing separate dances to the same old number
leaving our hopes where they can not be found
while we wait around for the late bloom.

CHORUS:
And every moment’s another mile
It’s so distant, so distant, your old smile
And every try is a love well spent well that’s
just what they say. I’d be so different my way.

Meet me out on the sea of green
and we can talk about things that are far too thoughtful
take me home and we can be real loud
because there’s no one around to respond to.

Take me home over winter break
and I will put down my fake and put on a sweater
It’ll be over when I clear my head
with my back to my bed crying over all of his letters.

CHORUS:
And every moment’s another mile
It’s so distant, so distant, your old smile
And every dollar’s a dollar well spend well that’s
just what they say. I’d be so different my way.

It’s just an itch you can’t scratch it
it’ll get everywhere
you just have to be prepared
for a little aching

CHORUS:
