I don't blow away
My friend said, was he always like that
I said yeah, but he was never this bad
I remember us playing for nickels and dimes
Out on the corner
I asked him to marry me once
He told me he couldn't because
This would be all that there was
(Refrain)
He was laughing but I didn't get the joke
He was dying to light up a smoke
And I wanted to cry
In the florescent light of the restaurant
I smiled and I got up to go
I was hoping for a goodbye to hold
But it was kind of like touching a ghost
So I ran when I walked out
(Refrain)
I got in my car and I drove
Over the bridge to the coast
Wondering where does old love go
