It was over that summer, for me
But it wasn’t for Annabel Lee
It’s a wonder she stuck
To my side for so long
I said, darlin’ I don’t wanna fight with you
She said, honey I’m not gonna lie to you
I’ve been watching the sky,
And my mind is all wrong
I could fly, or at least that’s the way that it feels
Past the river and runnin’ right over the hills

No denying she’s better than me
No forgetting my Annabel Lee
Got a head on her shoulders
And wings in her soul
I said, darlin’ I don’t wanna pay for it
She said, honey I’m not gonna wait for it
There’s an ache in my chest, and it might be a hole
I could fly, or at least find a place I can breathe
Past the river and runnin’ right over the sea

And I got what was coming to me
I was always the first one to leave
‘Til she packed up the van
And drove into the sun
I said, darlin, how can I forgive you?
She said oh, I don’t wanna outlive you
But we are what we are, and we’re coming undone
Only just enough left of me now to take flight
Past the river, and runnin’ right over the sky
