There's a stack of daily papers on her doorstep
and the grass has grown up more than she'd allow
yes it looks to me to be a little more than a vacation
never knew that i'd miss her until now
from both ends the candle seemed to burn much brighter
i guess she saw the flame i tried so hard to die
looks like i'm the one that got caught in the middle burnt my finger
i got there just in time to watch love die
yes i got there just in time to watch love die mhm mhm
There's a change of address blank inside her mailbox
and the key she usually left for me's not here
yes it's plain to see that she no longer needs an explanation
guess i should have known i would not find her here
from both ends the candle seemed...
but i got there much too late to say goodbye
