lyrics

Goodbye is a word that I heard in the movies
but we're not the kind to be known for great acting
when we met after work and you asked me to light up your last cigarette
we shared the smoke for a few years that neither of us would be soon to
forget

Every time I drive down here anymore
all I think of is the time in the food court
when we believed that everything happened to be
leading to something

Walk with me here through the mall
I've got a great big surprise
I'll reach in my pocket and give you a ring
this could be something

Hello was the first of the words we exchanged here
that quickly dissolved in an echoing chorus
what we built in a town where a river of pavement divides it in two
all fell apart in that one perfect scene where you cut me and ran me straight through

Every time I drive down here anymore
all I think of is the time in the food court
when I believed that everything happened to be
leading to something

Remember that time in the mall
I got a great big surprise
I reached in my pocket to give you a ring
you left me with nothing

Here's to our second chance
Here's to our second chance
five long years go by
I still believe that everything happens to be
leading us here where I fought to hold back the tears
I still believe it starts with this one cup of tea
now that we're here I'm hoping you'll finally see
I still believe
