Driveways - Not For Nothing lyrics

In late September my head fills with thoughts of a better time
Even quick discussions we had on the ride home from work
And I still remember I'd memorize stories to set aside
Just to tell you and not for nothing but every word meant the world

I wish I could turn back time
You don't know what you have till it's faded away
And I blurred that line with you
Cause you never faded you stayed in the back of my head
Like a distant green light on the waters where I'd reminisce every night

Take me down I can't recover now
Bury every mistake deep down miles below
Cause the autumn's coming there's fading traces of summer now
And not for nothing there's nowhere that I wouldn't go
Just to see you again

I know your story is different you found a light
Hold it together
I know priorities shifted I bet it wasn't painless all the time
Cold with the weather
As I look from a distance I'm glad it worked out in another life
October Forever
And not for nothing but you're still amazing in my eyes

I still remember summer nights, the fading sight of fireworks
Every time we talk it's like I never really find the words
I'll never say it but you'll always have a place inside my
I know you know
Forsaken by the timing and the circumstance I wish we weren't younger then
Late at night I question if you listen and you're wondering
Is this about you? Is it really still about you all the time?
I know you know

I know you know
I know you know it is
I see your green light shine every day
And it seems like it's miles away
Like a dream life I couldn't chase
Cause I was afraid
I was afraid
