lyrics

I've got a camera film to finish come on
Let's fake a photo shoot just like last time
Six years ago on another coast but nobody's gotta know
And I'll forgive you for reaching back into old bags of tricks
If you'll look the other way too

I've got your picture I just looked at it
You haven't changed one bit
Standing alone ankle-deep and aglow in CT snow
Captain Cheesecake to the end
Fork raised to defend the innocent

I've got the feeling you get when you're in a new place
And you stir an old memory with every new face
And I haven't slept though you're four hours late
I'm still sitting just this side of the security gate
Watching them come and go and come and go
As they come and they go

Shot up into the night
Headed back home
Back where it's white after a storm

And now they're saying your flight has come in
I'll shake awake try to scrape the years from my skin
All I've been meaning to say it's all wearing thin
It's all wearing thin
Yeah but maybe something could come through
If I were to sing this to you
Yeah I could sing this to you
Yeah well I bet I never do

Still it's the thought that counts
