Back into town for a minute to pick up prescriptions
The doctor refilled yesterday
To call it affliction's a careless description
Of the terrible itch in my brain
The pharmacy opens at six in the morning
I don't start my day until two
I'll be there after sunset when everyone's just left
And hope I don't run into you

I do
Oh, I do

And since the minute I got here, been aging in dog years
And watching time speed to a halt
God, you look like a stranger
I knew you in summer
Guess that's just the winter's fault

Haven't seen you around since your father skipped town
Had to hear it from one of your friends
Think the last time I saw him, he kissed both our foreheads
And I fell asleep in your bed

Five years I tried to be soundless to keep you around
But I always had too much to say
Now I feel like a failure for standing in line here
And daring to take up your space
