lyrics

The Red Line

3,000 miles i had traveled with a smile
just to see your face again
those eyes of blue still told the truth
but that don't mean you're gonna choose to be with me and then

i gave it everything i had
there's no more tricks inside this hat
i'm falling on my sword
battle cries can start a fire
question all your heart's desire and what it can afford

i took the red line to harvard square
the something that was missin' it was you while i was there
all the good times i had with your friends
the memories we made, buried deep in my chest
so goodbye true love i wish you the best

at least i know the thoughts i thought
were not an empty parking lot although it's looking dim
and the feelings that we felt were real
but it's not right to cheat or steal
let or you'll be dragged

and if anything i'm grateful for the songs you helped me sing
there as beautiful as you and my story's still the same
winter coats and dirty jokes
hangin' out and groin' old
laughin' all the days we made it through
but that's just not the tale of me and you
