Sedated city, Austin calling
Calling out my brand new name
Far away in the distance,
but close enough to feel her flame
I’m driving down just to see you
Driving through the rain and heat
Mary Ann you’re just a memory
Fading fast, incomplete
So there i stood at the entrance
You opened the door and reeled me in
Comparing photographs of childhood
We shared a secret world within
Can you hear these words, the words that im not saying
I get lost in these games that we’re playing
And it would be nice to know if you’re staying
Once we danced in Dallas Alley
Found the moon beneath our feet
You wrapped your arms around my shoulder
in a gesture of retreat
Circumstance kept you childless
and longing for another man
Wrap your arms around my shoulder
and someday soon youll understand
And later on at the movie
we’re waiting in line for a better view
You reached over to tug the tag from
the brand new shirt i wore for you
Laughing it off, your face all aglow
Like the neon light, branding the night ever slow
Caught in a moment i did not wish to leave
Feeling your energy on this midsummer’s eve
(chorus)
but now you’re just like a stranger
i wonder if we even met
i used to be afraid of danger
but now it’s nothing but regret
we used to write each other novels
but now we dont even speak
im driving down just to see you
driving down an empty street
