M-dash - 70 A lyrics

Oh, it's been years since I've
Been lost in you
Unearthing memories each avenue
You're my oldest friend
Please come back again

I looked for you within the neon blur
I listened for you in each soft whisper
Hoping it would end
And you'd be back again
But you're not back again

I know this city as I know a lover
Who has stolen the covers and
Rolled away from me

His scent, it lingers just beyond my fingers
He's worlds away when he is
Lying next to me

(Little Edie)
I don't know, I don't know
Better check on mother and the cats
Depressing, you know
When winter sets in here
You know, cause I don't like the country
And I don't want to be here
I hate to spend the winter here though
Oh god, another winter

Now every streetlight glows a softer hue
Every party's end feels overdue
And as if on cue I sit and think of you

I know there's nothing really in a name
Know that sorrow's springs will
Feel the same
Guess I can't explain the memory away

I know this city as I know a lover
Who has stolen the covers and
Rolled away from me

His scent, it lingers just beyond my fingers
He's worlds away when he is
Lying next to me

(Big Edie)
Yeah, everything's good that you didn't do
At the time you didn't want it

(Little Edie)
I couldn't get away

(Big Edie)
Well you - that's a choice
You can't go back and say-
Feel gorgeous right now-

(Little Edie)
I couldn't leave
(Big Edie)
And say, oh why didn't I do this?

(Little Edie)
I couldn't leave

(Big Edie)
Because you didn't feel then the
Way you do now
Everybody thinks and feel differently as
The years go by
Don't they?

(Little Edie)
Yeah

(Big Edie)
Yeah
What time is it, chicken?
