Driving through the city
Till we're lost
Counting all the railroads
That we cross
You're in your father's sweatshirt
It's way too big
Take a mental picture
Don't forget

And you
Were never mine to lose
But I wish you well
You know I do
Been looking at the world through
Shades of blue
As overwhelming colors
Pour from you
On this avenue

Look at all the mansions
Aren't they great
Let's laugh about the offers
That we'd make
We're passing by the graveyard
Hold your breath
Are you disappointed
By me yet

And you
Were never mine to lose
But I wish you well
You know I do
Been looking at the world through
Shades of blue
As overwhelming colors
Pour from you
On this avenue
