lyrics

6pm was my church bell curfew,
You cried your eyes out - what could I do?
We caught the last slither of November sun,
Vines on the tracks where the train used to run.

My folks took the key from under the mat,
My grades have been slipping since school started back,
And you made a bad first impression,
Talking too loud - asking too many questions....

Skipping school was a bust - there’s nowhere to go,
Two broken windows and the kerosene’s low,
And your mandolin won’t stay in tune,
But I’m cool with you in this cramped frigid room.

And when she gets home - she’s drunk and she’s loud,
Confessing her sins on that bourbon-stained couch,
One of those sins being you,
Three towns in three years and you’ll both be gone soon.

Next year I’ll have a car,
I’ll come and find you wherever you are...

You throw your sketches into the fire,
You say faces here ain’t worth remembering,
You say you could never get mine quite right,
You say I’m still growing into it.
Maybe I’m still growing into it.

I’ve got no answers - I’m just a crutch,
I try to be cool - but I bruise to your touch.
Next year I’ll have a car...

Old concert tickets taped to your door,
You saw the Cult and you saw the Cure,
And Richmond was better 'cause you never got bored,
But your old friends don’t call you or write anymore.

You and me - and that one-eyed dog you call "Job"
And ol' Johnny Carson - he comes and he goes...
And I’m breaking my brand new curfew,
You’re leaving tomorrow, what else can I do?

We catch the first slither of November sun,
Vines on the tracks where a train used to run,
Next year I’ll have a car...

Next year I'll have a car...

Hear the bells.
